Loose is relative.
Even if the lifters were "pumped" up, when you go to set the lash there is no pressure feeding the lifter so great care must be taken to not compress the lifter when adjusting.
Use the pushrod as a signal to tell you when zero lash is achieved.
Then do the 1/2 to 1 turn load.
I grab the pushrod and spin it, rattle it, and slowly adjust the rocker until I feel it
engage the lifter. Then do the 1/2 to 1 turn.
