Default Spongy lifters?

Hey guys, I just replaced my HS modified stock rockers with some Yella Terra's, and they were kinda noisy. I pulled everything apart, and adjusted the wipe so its perfect. I had to shim it so naturally I assume I need to adjust my pushrod length. I have a comp PR length checker, and while I was playing with it I noticed a few of my lifters felt really spongy. The car has sat for about a week, so I'm sure they have bled down some, but I ran it for about a minute or two about an hour ago, wouldn't they have pumped up almost immediately? I've gotta say, with them being spongy it is really hard to check my PR length. I'm feeling kinda sick to my stomach right now so any input is appreciated. Thanks!

Responded on CF, they are probably fine. It is due to them not being full of oil. See CF.
