So what is the question? Are the lifters noisy or do you need to know if they are hydraulic or solid. The problem in identifying which they are is that the engine may have been changed from Hydraulic to solids during its life and as such may not be true to the sticker on the fan housing.

If you run the engine for a minute, turn it off, and still have valve clearance you either have stuffed hydraulics or solids.

CJ cases are usually hydraulic from memory - (which might might be failing),

Also thought hydraulic follower bores were larger and so not interchangeable with solids (could be wrong though).
