Not to tell you what to do, but make sure to prime the oil in the engine before starting. You can also manually turn it over in segments to do the priming. I ran these Hylift Johnson lifters in one engine. They are still going strong after many miles. If I remember correctly setting the lash was very specific. I used a dial indicator to get them exactly where needed. I used the short travel lifters. [url]https://johnsonlifters.com/Products/HydraulicRollerLifters/ST2112OPR.aspx#312814-application[/url
There is also talk of using proper oil weight in engines with roller lifters. I was told not to use anything higher than 10w-40 weight oils. I ran Amsoil with no issues.
