Default which way do the lifters go?

im doing a cam and head swap, and when i pulled the lifters out i put them in the marked bags for each tray, however i dident mark which lifters go in which hole. so i have a 50/50 chance of getting them in the right holes. does anyone know which way the lifter is sposed to face, can anyone help me?

As long as the roller is on the cam, and the guides are holding them so that the rollers are rolling on the cam and not sliding on it, they're in their the "right way".

in other words either way it dont matter just make sure the roller is lined up with the cam so it will roll...

install em upside down. it adds horsepower

Really though, as long as the rollers roll WITH the cam your in good shape.
