<VV> new lifters...

[BBRT]

With all due respect, Bob, not true. That is not how current hydraulic lifters work.  I have OBSERVED the oil going to the rockers, while priming.  You need to disassemble a lifter and take a look at how it meters oil. I have.

  Also I don't recommend trying Chuck's method of looking for oil to come out the pushrods. The problem here is that oil trying to leave the lifter and pass up the pushrod REQUIRES the inertia of a lifter in motion. If the lifter is stationary (eng not running) then the oil pressure just forces the metering valve up against its seat blocking the oil flow to the pushrod.

  Take a lifter apart and see how it operates.
