Is it safe to assume that it has Hydraulic tappets with this head as it has a 2nd oil return hole ?
Is there any other way to tell without removing the rocker cover ?
Thanks,

If you have 5 caps on the cam shaft then they are mechanical, if only 4 then then it's hydraulic tappets.
Picture about 1/2 way down this thread.
