Well yes and no. I'm only 28 so some people think why listen to someone wet behind the ears hes wrong so here it goes. A lot of old timers will say yes so there pumped up and it does seem to be effective but alot of companies say no dont do it Let them pump up. I think the reason most people soak them is possibly cause they dont know how to set up the valve lash without resistence from the pumped up lifter or maybe there afraid the pressur of the valve spring will prevent it from pumping up but this is just not so. They are desighned to pump up automaticly . There hydraulic they work off pressure and as long as your engine has it it wont be a problem if not even being soaked without adequete pressure they will bleed down and tick so... just make sure that you lube the foot well so thge lifter and cam take. Its just as if not more critical if your using a used cam cause the old ones have already worked a specific wear pattern . Hope this helps if your not familiar with setting the lifters let me know thers an easy way for that to be done if you dont have a book
