I am going with 1.7 RR on my motor, It has a flat tappet cam (82 block) here is my question...

The engine has not been run in months, before I adjust the lifters with the proper preload, do I need to fill them with oil, pump them up, or do anything?

I think that I may have to fill them with oil - what is the best way to do this?

thanks
