Listen when you start up after a long rest.  You might hear a clatter that 
goes away, indicating hydraulic lifters that are pumping up.  Next, remove 
oil filler cap, and listen to running engine with a piece of heater hose.  If 
you now hear clatter you have solid lifters, if quiet they are hydraulic and 
working properly.
