I have a related question:

I'm about to re-set my valves too on my bb, and I was wondering about 'priming' them? I have a book that says when you are assembling the motor you need to prime the lifters first to fill them with oil before putting them in, so that's self explanatory.
But what do you do if you are re-adjusting them after the engine has been assembled and run? I don't want to pull my intake unless I absolutely have to, so since they are not accessable now does "priming" even apply? Can I just remove all the rockers and start over from cylinder #1?
Do they stay 'primed' when they are in the motor even if it's been sitting for a few weeks now?
