Both set are all solid with no movement, is that the way they should be or should there be some spring movement

I'm hoping some one could respond to the op's question and give some clarity. It does seem that lifters removed from a fresh tear down vary in their movement. some have a fair amount of spring travel, and some are completely ridged with oil pressure. Which is correct? And if reassembling the engine, should the lifters be installed without being pre-pumped with oil-allowing full spring travel, or, should they be pre-pumped with oil making them ridged upon reinstalling?
