I do not know if you did this or not, but It's very important to NOT prime the lifters with oil before you load them in the Bores.
If you did so then you can never get the .030" to .050" preload right before you fire the motor over, and a good sign of this condition is that the motor does not light off right away!

It does not take much cranking time before and having the motor not fire for damage to be be done even with breakin lube.
