i had to ask this question also, if there stock type lifters all you need is to put them in the tray, then put them in, my stockers had the oil holes going both ways throughout from the factory, so you should be fine. just make sure the trays hold the lifters tight.

ok, there is two flat sponts on the top of either side of the lifter and two flat spots in the trays to hold them from spinning.you will see when you take them out.. also im not sure if it matters wich way the holes face, as mine came both ways from the factory, some were facing the crank others werent, so im assumining they are universal in that matter. (and they too only have one hole)
