BLS, assembly lube on both ends of the lifter? And just on the pushrod cup of the rocker? or on both ends
Anything that will have initial metal to metal contact gets assembly lube. Soaking in oil is good but if it sits a while after assembly (we know it will), you will have only a thin film on a first/cold start. It's not much different than a cold start but if you are there, why not give her the best foot forward. Better to have the assembly lube on there to keep it good until the oil gets there.
