Is that for a "dry engine" ?
The engine is on the stand, I filled it with oil and ran the pump with a drill for 2-3 minutes,, oil flowed from all pushrods and was holding 50lb on a mech gauge.
I will probably prime it again about 2-3 before firing.

I don't know. It just says DO NOT operate above idle until all lifters are oiling.
