Should be done FOC.

If not costed in the rebuild then max 5hrs labour + shims.

There'll be an oil change too.

who rebuilt the engine, check with them to see if they will cover the cost of the clearance check. Also remember to get another 1000 miles on the engine before you consider it fully run in.

TVR Power do the tappet adjustment foc as part of the rebuild. All you have to pay for is a new oil filter.
