Engine shop woes

as far as the lifter you don't want the lifters pumped up and full of oil went you go to start the engine...a pumped up lifter can hold the valve off the seat during initial start up..they will fill with oil as soon as the oil pressure gets there...you want some kind of moly lube on the camshaft ..or on the base of the lifters....

you want the oil pumped primed and ready to go...
