SOMETIMES poor maintenance can contribute to sticking lifters. If you suspect that as the cause, try flushing the crankcase with a good additive for removing sludge. It probably won't help, but it's worth a try, just in case that's all that's wrong.
If THAT doesn't help, you'll need new lifters and I wouldn't bother putting new lifters in without replacing the camshaft.
Hydraulic lifters are self adjusting, so you won't get any benefit from attempting to adjust your valves.
