If theres a chance the lifters are gooed up on the sides with Moly, YES, the lifters need to rotate freely from moment one.

Break-in lube on the lifter contact face and motor oil in the bores. If you pick the lifters up off the cam lobe they should drop back down by themselves easily.
Yea, I know I did the drop "thunk" test on the lifters - had to clearance one bore which was a little snug...just can't remember if I gooed them up with lube before I did final assembly
