Lol they dont have tappets, they have buckets and shims with the camshaft pushing directly onto the valve stem via the bucket (or cam follower if ya like)
would say valve shimming needs cheking and the cam chain tensioner checking Jim |

i have my doubts the rattle would be from the shim clearance at 20k,and every one on here reckons the clearances tighten up,sound more like cam chain tensioner

YC recomended to me that valve clearance should be done at 15k miles (and i had it done), so maybe a heads up you might need yours doing

20k is a mid service (Spark plugs, oil change, adjustment)
I got a major service done (with a could of extras) for £210
