If you have adjustable tappets bring the engine to top dead center no 1 piston firing The rocker will be on the back of the cam lobes. Inlet .010" hot exhaust .012" hot and then turn until next firing piston is in position. Go by firing order. I suspect that a 1997 model would have hydraulic adjusted tappets which means no manual adjustment. If it is rattlly I would be checking for worn rocker shaft and rocker bushes.

What is the tappert setting on a 1998 Hyunda H100 2.6 diesel bakkie?

The valve clearance specification for a 1998 Hyundai H100 2.6 diesel bakkie is:
Intake valve clearance: 0.25 - 0.35 mm (0.010 - 0.014 in) Exhaust valve clearance: 0.45 - 0.55 mm (0.018 - 0.022 in)
The tappet setting for this engine will depend on the specific valve clearance measurements for each valve. If the valve clearances are found to be outside of the specification, the tappet settings will need to be adjusted accordingly. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's service manual for detailed instructions on how to perform the adjustment procedure.

I need the valve clearance for both intake and exhaust on a chevy spark 800cc 3 cylinders cold settings Thanks

What year is the vehicle? Most modern cars often don't need the valve clearances adjusted. They are fitted with Hydraulic 'Tappets' that automatically adjust to suit the valve clearances as the engine warms up. You can usually tell by looking at the valve rockers. Hydraulic set ups don't have adjustment screws fitted to the ends of the rocker.

Hi I have a 1983 renault 5ts that I build up can you please tell me what the tappet clearance should be?

Adjust intake valves to .008" (.20mm) and exhaust valves to .010" (.25mm) for the R16 engine. For the R17 engine the clearance is the same with the exception for the Gordini engine. On that one you adjust the exhaust valve to .012" (.30mm) https://www.6ya.com/callphilipforhelp
