No, Mopar stock blocks have a lot of clearances (.003+) in the lifter bores to the lifters, way more than they should have tsk
That being said that does allow a lot of oil to drip down onto the cam lobes and around the lifters, even at idle RPM under 1000 RPM shruggy
As far as maintenance on the solid roller lifters buy a good set, I like Crowers, and good rocker arm parts and run good clean oil to make the motor live.
My last pump gas fast street car had a Comp Cams custom ground solid roller cam with their lifters and Harland Sharp aluminum roller rocker arm set up with their 1.65 ratio, I would check the lash after break in around once a year after everything was broken in and stop wearing the high points off the new moving parts like the pushrod and roller tips on the rocker arms up
