you can get solid and hydrolic lifters. hydrolic ones adjust the clearences themselve with hydrolic pressure where as the solid lifters need to be set up with feeler gauges and then shims need to be added to gain the correct cam lobe to follower clearence

it depends really. if ur keeping a relitivly standard engine then i would keep with hydrolic, but if you want to highly tune ur engine and run larey cams then solid follows would be better as they can be shimmed to get precise clearenses.
if ur thinking about this because yours are getting tappy, then there is somewhere a link to a rebuild guide.
i think tomsbd has it
