i install hydraulics dry, which makes it really easy to measure/verify preload, then i run the oil pump to pump 'em up.
for what is the good life if not doing things thoughtfully?

trying to adjust rockers on hydrualics with oil in them will usually lead you to an incorrect setting.

this seems like consensus then...I will install them dry to set lifter preload...and then after that before starting up the engine is priming the oiling system enough to get oil to the lifters for when the engine is first fired up? or after setting preload should I add some oil to the lifters?

if you run the oil pump for a minute or so, the lifters will be good to go. probably a good idea to turn the engine also.
sounds good
