Their lifters are great, yet one detail is left out. Take apart the lifters prior to install and clean them in a solvent. The protective oil they put on them will attract dirt. Its just an extra step to insure they all function properly. Coat them with the proper break in oil such as their product or something formulated for Flat Tappet lifters such as Valvoline VR1. It has the proper ZDDP compounds plus, most importantly, a high film strength.
Assemble as usual and you should have no problems. The step above is just to make sure non of the lifters have any sticky spots or debris to clog up your engine.
And YES follow all of their other recommendations! I most likely will be using their products again to put together another build here in the very near future.

So you DID remove your inner valve springs & re install them after cam break in?
