Default Oil Priming .... ?

I should've posted here first instead of C4, I will get a mod to delete the other sinking thread.

The question is:

#1 Intake rocker arm/pushrod is burping oil when I prime the system. All the others have pools and are dripping over, its just burping away just filling up a little bit. Is it ok to start, should I keep priming, thanks guys!

Trying to get this puppy going soon! I am out of time!
