The lifters only go in one way...not sure about the hole...probably an oiling hole you are talking about...
I would not worry about it---->oil lifters, insert into trays (only slide in one way, roller down) and slide into lifter bores, push down onto lobes of cam with pushrods, done
You're good to go..

I think he knows that the roller goes down....

You must be referring to the OILING hole, which I mentioned previously. That would be left and right orientation, not up and down...
That is why I was confused lol...
Orientation does not matter.
Oil will get there either way.
If you are concerned, you could always drill the lifter trays a bit to allow for more oil to come in...I never have, but you can.

thanks for the help. i checked online at alldata and it does not say either. i also looked today on the gm website here at work and it does not say either. i was told by the tech that it does not matter either. i work at a chevy dealer and i knew it was a stupid question but i would rather be sure when it comes to stuff like that.

Hey. no such thing as a "stupid question"....better to ask than to screw something up!!
It is for this reason that the best athletes still have coaches helping them along the way!
Good luck
