I prefer to saok them in oil fully submerged for a few days, then I pump them up with my fingers and drop them back in while I assmemble everything.

dont put assembly lube on the rollers because it isnt needed and can actually stop the roller from turning because it is so slick. This is what I heard from some machine shops. Not sure how true it is, but I do see the point about not needing heavy amounts of lube on a rolling device.

the roller stopin from assembly lube is bs because there is extreme pressure pushing the lifter down make sure to use plenty of assembly lube
