Valve adjustment in rebuild

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.

Valve adjustment on 4.0
I searched but could not find it.
I am rebuilding a 2001 4.0 with a rebuilt TUPY head.
In my youth, when rebuilding a non adjustable hyd lifter engine, we just torqued to spec and called it a day.
The 4.0 rebuild "books" do not discuss any "adjustments" .
I remember reading a thread here about someone running into problems because after a block and head rebuild the valve train was out of spec?? and I thought someone in the know said something about shimming??
Can someone point me in the right direction?

who cares if it’s an old post Mr big guy who thinks he is the gate keeper.
The info is good forever. And from all the posts from other people who say incorrectly to just bolt the rockers down and your done obviously don't have a clue about this procedure either so there are many more folks on here that need the info. Not just the original poster. really hate it when people feel the need to spout off and contribute nothing but brainless posts like “this is an old
post so don’t comment on it”. Reading endless posts where all these people say just bolt the rockers down and no adjustment necessary just because there are not rocker adjustment nuts is bad info. like they know what they are doing but don’t can cause others to create engine problems by giving out false info IS A REASON TO POST correct info in an older post.
