Default another lifter question (maybe dumb)

I'm getting ready to do my cam install and I am installing adjustable pushrods and new Revtech hydraulic lifters. With new lifters, I would expect not to have to wait for them to bleed down before switching cylinders, am I wrong?

Always wait until you can spin the pushrods with your fingers.
