Yes, the 356 engine has hydraulic lifters. I had one collapsed lifter in my '49 [23rd Series] Custom. You can see the filthy oil gushing from the collapsed lifter in the photo. Made a heck of a racket. It has since been replaced, the missing oil canister replaced, and the gunk cleaned out of the sump. The oil is now a golden amber and the engine is very quiet.
