Hello,

What is the issue with your engine?
Noisy valve lifters?
Valve train noise is often caused by bad or low engine oil or sludge/carbon build up.

A good video explaining noisy valve lifters:

A good video showing hydraulic valve lifter change on a GM, Opel engine. Very similar to your engine:

The hydraulic valve lifters are located inside the cylinder head underneath the camshafts.

Your vehicle is equipped with a 1.6L 16V DOHC engine.
Meaning dual overhead camshafts with 16 valves, therefore 16 valve lifters.
See image 1+2 below.
To access these, you will need to remove both camshafts.
See image 3+4

Hope this helps.

Cheers, Boris
