Just saying if it was me, i would replace the lifters, they aren't that pricey and if you change lifters and pushrods then you should have a noticeably better sounding ride. and it cleans the gunk out while your at it!

Shouldn't really need to clean that, lifters will just drop in, you don't want to spray chemicals or anything there cause its right on the cam, if anything just get a soft nylon bristle bottle brush and run it in the holes before you drop the lifters in. Trust me I just did this two days ago and the new ones slid in very nicely

So it looks like its not needed. I didnt prime mine when I rebuilt my motor... Here is a source from crane cams http://www.cranecams.com/faqview.php?s_id=30
You could always do a google search on priming hydraulic lifters if you want to read some other views.

I put assembly lube on the tops and bottoms of the lifter. The cam was covered in lube of course.
