Did you let him know about the problem or did you just guess that the tappet was the problem?
Wrench was not "bad fitting". Later I ran a couple down to the standard lifter height on the bench and then checked the breakout force. It took over 40 ft-lbs to move the bolt. Those thin lifter wrenches are usually not made for such torque. They were returned and money refunded.
