The dampners are not accessable without removing the camshaft and then the followers. The followers hold the shims which are responsible for achieving the correct valve clearance. The dampners are fitted to the top of the valve stem under the follower.

I think they are about $1.00 each (8/engine).

I adjust the valves at the same time I am changing the timing belt and seals. I don't have the tool necessary to depress the cam follwer to remove the shim so I simply remove the camshaft. This makes it very easy to change out the shims and dampners.

I am not convinced that new dampners make all that much difference in reducing noise but I like to think I notice a change :-)
