    The only lifter I have seen that recomends filling the lifter with fluid first is Rhodes lifters ,they are a fast bleed lifter ,meaning they will not pump up untill 3000 rpm is reached or there abouts.It takes very little force to depress the lifter cup when fully pumped up with oil,the rhodes lifters.
    I will second the never ever pump up a regular lifter.
    Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)
