Pre-load on a dry lifter happens pretty much instantly. You watch, measure and set it where you want. With "good" lifters it's not a problem and how they were built at the factory.

A lifter full of cold oil can take a while to leak down. Cold 40wt oil makes them leak real slow. Weak valve springs makes them leak real slow.

Don't know what lifter body lunatti uses to make their solids, So can't help with that.
