<VV> last note on lifters

[mark at noakes.com]

The following is the answer I got back from Clarks on why they say that 
lifters should not be primed, direct quote by permission:

"The manufactures use a special thin oil in these for start up so that 
they will be easily adjustable. They tell us that if you prime them you 
run the risk of overfilling it and causing it to become basically a 
solid lifter which could then cause more problems than you want. we 
have double checked with other lifter manufactures and they all say the 
same. Priming lifters is old school and should not be done."

This is very close to what I found digging around the internet on the 
Crane Cams site as well.
