You may be looking in the wrong place for the cold startup problem. Even with no oil pressure, the hydraulic lifters will still operate the valve action sufficiently for the engine to start and run on all 8 cylinders. I think you should take a closer look at carburetion and other matters before considering some hydraulic lifter problem.
If your mechanic's idea was correct, you'd hear a god-awful amount of lifter clatter after startup, which you don't mention.
