tappet lock nuts

lobster
Has anyone had this happen? The lock nuts on the 1 and 2 exhaust valves came loose
and are now lost under the valve cover. At least I hope that's where they are.
only one way to find out.
Oh ya anyone know where to get tappets and lock nuts.
Thanks Lobster

It's the tappet adjusters, the screw and the nut.
 Tools says I can use any nut if it's the correct size.

I think that Lucky means that they will be hard to get out.  I don't imagine you want those loose in your engine when it's running.
