Question About lifters.

I am replacing the Cam and Lifters in my 400. Do I soak the new lifters in oil or "pump" them up before I put them in or just use asssembly lube on them and they will pump themselves up on initial startup?

Just assembly lube... remember to leave you engine running for at elats 20 min above 2000rpm to have a good break in....

And don't forget the zinc additive in your oil.
