...that you sit them, upside down, that is hollow side up, and fill with oil and let them sit. Better even, sit them in a flat bottom pan all together and fill interiors of lifters AND outside them in the pan. There's a hole somewhere that gives into the interior and oil will make its way in.
But you need to do some searches on here or on the C900 site, C900 will definitely have lots of discussion on this.
Or you can just assemble and start the car and wait for them to fill and pump up from the oil circulating around.
You might want to post this whole question on the C900 board, there are a lot of old pros on there and it's pretty active usually. Except for the last 24 hours, when I don't see a single post from anyone on there, funny.
