How do I get oil into my new Lifters?

I recently purchased a new set of lifters for my 1989 Probe GT(Mazda 2.2 liter). I'm unable to get them to pump up!
Any suggestions would be most helpful, thank you.

Put new oil in the car + oil filter

Pull the fuse of the fuelpump out.
Pull the cables out of the distribute (the small low voltage connectors)

Try to start for about a 10 to 20 seconds (pump oil around) the car will NOT start.

Put the cables + fuse back and start. Normaly it will start.
