Default Revtech pushrod install

I am installing new adjustable pushrods in my 89 Evo and was just wondering how long it should take for the lifters to bleed down. The instructions don'tsay how long it should take but says not to turn motor over until they do bleed down.
I am getting so close to being able to fire this baby up but I don't want to screw up this far into the rebuild.

The exhaust bled down in about 15 minutes but the intake just isn't bleeding down.
Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance.
Joe

After installing the adj pushrods (lowest part of cam) They can take up to 5 minutes to bleed down When I install new hyd lifter assembly's ( Evo's) I leave out the adj pushrods pull the spark plugs and crank the motor over This will fill the new lifters with oil Then proceed with the above pushrod adjustment
