cam lube goop on lifters Q

Nothing 'engine assembly lube wise' you put on the lifter sides is going to stop the cam lobe from spinning them.
Only wasted rusted, ovaled or burred lifter bores or dinged gouged lifters are going to impede that. Check them for easy moment up/down/smooth spin/turn...back flips whtevr.lol
Fwie People wipe most the lube off in 1 revolution at start up anyhow and only have a small wedge at the lifter contact till the it's made a couple times round...then it's just film and splash.
Even hand turning it while priming it... its wiped off to a little wedge under the lifter.
