I'm about to buy a 74' type one and was wondering if I could expect the stock 1600 to have hydraulic valves.

German Bugs never came with hydraulic lifters. That was a development on Mexican EFI Bugs in the 1990s. Of course, they can be added, but it's not very common to find.

As he says, '93-'04 Mexican Beetles. I have a '74 Super that has a longblock from Mexico with hydraulic lifters and I can say that in the 11 years I've had this engine I've never seen another!
