t4 hydraulic cam, Trying to identify a hydraulic cam Options

[brandomc]

I gave up on the 350 dollar 1.7 that i tried putting into my car, so now im tearing into a 2.0 i bought a while back. The guy i bought it from said that he had it rebuilt about 10 years ago and then was never able to get it to fire up. Anyways, he told me that it had hydraulic lifters in it, but he didnt know much else.
What i am wondering is how to tell the difference between a hydraulic cam and a solid lift cam. There are hydraulic lifters in the engine. Im tearing into this engine and trying to make sure everything is legit in it, but now that im almost completly disasimbled, im thinking about a 2056 kit for some reason.
The engine looks pretty good inside. The rings look brand new, the cylinder walls look like they were honed a few hundred miles ago, the cam looks new, the pistons look old and one has a big ding in the top. A few of the cylinders have fins broken on the top.
Looks like the engine was "freshend up" with not much money being spent. Im not sure if i should put it back together and try it out, or if i should just drop some cash and put together a really good engine.

Im also trying to figure out if these heads need reworked. One of the heads has a bunch of dings . Here are some pics of the cam and heads.






So you can see how far i have disasembled the engine. There is a big ding on the top of one of the pistons, and a crap load of little dings on one of the cylinder heads. The cylinders look to have been honed not that long ago. The heads are really clean other than in the combustion chamber. The lifters and cam look new. The pistons have some scoring on the sides, but the rings look new.
