No, they have hydraulic lifters - they're self-adjusting.

I think that you will have to adjust the valves. I read that 1999 2.2 engine have no valve adjuster. Subaru says that hydraulic valve adjuster increase friction in engine (less power) so they built it without. IMO I would not adjust the valve if they are noisy only when engine is cold. I own a 1999 Impreza 2.2l and it does a little noise when running cold. I think Subaru recommend to do this adjustement at 100k miles.
