Lifter Install

Quick question before installing my new lifters today, does it matter which way the oiling hole faces?

Thanks

My understanding is no it does not. All the LS1 based spec books do not reference it. As long as the roller bearing is following the lobe your fine.

+1 The book I followed with my build says it doesn't matter.

Does not matter on these motors where that hole is.
