installing new lifters
I'm installing new lifters. Which direction should the lifter oiling hole face:
1)Towards the front of the motor (front of the car)
2)Towards the rear of the motor (rear of the car)
3)It doesn't matter

I faced all mine out towards the oil gallery, but mine were Morels and the oil hole is 90 degrees different than GM lifters.

I used Caddy racing lifters! I faced ALL mine towards the rear!!! In my opinion,,,,,it doesnt matter! As long as the orfice is inside the oil passage.
