Purney,
I'm probably making you nervous. If you know it was out of a car, then it is undoubtly has hydraulics. If you start to tighten it down thinking it is hydraulic, it will start to shudder, shake and probably backfire, but will not recover until you back the lifter off.
Doing the same drill, but with a actual hydraulic, the engine will flop around a bit, but will quickly recover as the lifter collapses to its loaded position and things smooth out.
