I realized my engine is quieter than the ones in the videos, maybe I am being overly cautious.
I can't tell which has the hydraulic lifter and which ones don't. But given mine is the last year senior car, only without the aluminum head, it should come with everything...

This may well be the case. the noise is so minor it barely gets picked up by the microphone...

I've you don't have a known service history on the motor, it may be good insurance to drop the oil pan and clean up any sludge and clean the pickup screen.
These cars do not have full filtration oil systems, so they do accumulate sludge in the pan over time. Due to the length of the pan and clearance issues it can be a bit of a pain, but at least you'll know it's been done this century.

I would agree, particularly if you plan to keep the car for a while. It's a bit of time and the cost of an oil pan gasket, but I thinks it's worth while.
