Really bad idea.

I would like to say that I didn't do the same thing but I did - Oil all over the place. When the vavle wasn't seating I tried to run the car for a little bit to see if it would re-seat. Big mistake. I also managed to foul my front 3 spark plugs at the same time. Thought I really screwed the engine up. I don't know if it was because I didn't have the front pcv tube plugged to the lower intake.
BTW - you can have my old lifters if you want - I am not going to use them (or resell them on ebay)
