Lifters installation
Every lifter has a little hole on one side.
Is it important on what side this hole is when installing lifters?

It doesn't matter. The lifters turn in the bore anyway. If you look at the lifter base you'll see tale-tell signs; concentric circles.

I hope mine don't. That would be a bad thing on a roller cam.

Yep, I agree.
I assumed he was talking about flat tappet lifter; that's what I get for doing that. Won't I ever learn!?
