Because it's not needed, it's a good way to bend a pushrod when torquing rockers down, especially in a net lash setup such as the stock rocker setup in most of our cars.

A simple prefill PREOILING before initial fire up is more than adequate to fill the lifters without any issues.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
