Alright gentleman. Quick question for you people who deal with these engines on a more frequent basis than I do.

When you're putting the lifter in the hole to rest it on the cam, which direction does the oil pick-up hole face for the lifter. Does it face outward towards the manifold, or inward towards the engine block? Basically, do the pick-up hole face up or down for the roller lifters?

Hopefully that makes sense...who knows that answer?

IIRC there supposed to face towards the cam. I will confirm this in the morning

There should be a dab of paint on each lifter, which you should be able to see when it's sitting in the bore.
