They are automatic if you have a lot of tapping with engine running cold then they have warn out. there is a spring and ball on the underside of the tappet when the spring goes weak or snaps this is the problem. easy just to replace the set ( hard to get the centre part out that hold it in place). inlet and out let. you will need to redo the timing as the belt needs to come off, usually best to change the belt at this time.

Not all modern engines need you to set the valve clearances. Most engines use oil filled 'tappets' that self adjust the clearance as the oil temperature changes. Depending on which engine it is yours has a lot of the time you can only check the valve clearance but not adjust it.
