Pre-lubed Hydraulic Lifters

No pre oil/soak/pump of lifters for me.
I like being able to set my pre load accurately...and its actually easier on the lobes, technically, because the cups are depressing and taking some of pressure/lift off...and they pump up just fine unless you have obstructions in the system.
Do it however you'd like on your own stuff. Figure lash/pr length 1st... then pump..im sure people are already thinking that as they read this...but it's on you if it doesnt work out or hurts parts, remember that.
