You don't.
Edit: At least, I think you don't. I'm sure its the same as the M20...Me: "I can't wait to redline my car!"
Mark: "Didn't you just break a rocker arm?"
Me: "Yeah, I don't think I've learned my lesson."
Mark: "You never will." -
You do adjust the M20's. http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/tech...lve_Adjust.htm
I'm not sure about M10/42's.

M42s have hydraulic self adjusting lifters. you don't adjust them.
if you're hearing ticking noises, your tensioner is probably on it's way out, and most of the rest of the timing chain assembly is getting worn too. replacing the tensioner and running a thicker oil will help.Comment

the funny thing is it will only tick when it is cold about 5 mins if that it goes awaywilsonComment

it takes a while for the pressure to build up enough for proper tension on the chain and lifters. you can try replacing the tensioner, but honestly high-mileage M42s are going to sound like that. I'd just let it warm up in the morning.Comment

M10'S have ecentrics.Comment
