most hydraulic cam lifters can be adjusted and believe it or not should be. On my VW vanagon aircooled its a fairly easy proposition and involves turning in the adjuster on the foot just enough to tighten them up and then backing off a bit. A collapsed lifter is also common - some oils seems to cause it more than others - quaker state and pennzoil in my opinion.
Fixing a collapsed lifter is not that complicated but often its easier to replace it. I've replaced two on my my VW.
