Priming motor question

I did the pre-soak already (for a year actually :) ) so I know they are filled. They are solid rollers so no plunger to work. The cups are filled with an oil soluble assembly grease so that is done already. I can take the wait and see approach but would rather know ahead of time. Custom 7/16" pushrods aren't cheap so I'd rather not smoke a set if I can avoid it.
