lifter question
just did a cam change and while getting everything together the lifter retaining clip fell off and the lifters slipped out of its bore, not sure if I reinstalled the lifter with the oil hole facing in and like a smacked a$$ I didn't check the manual for the proper installation procedure. I have everything back together and took in out for a little spin (flashed a fuel-moto map) bike seemed to be running really good. no major valve train noise ….i knwon I have a 50/50 chance that I got it right..but I'm not sure and that’s what bugging me.
My question is do I need to go back in and verify ? if so how hard is it to go back in through the valve covers? I did use adjustable push rods ,however I may have put just a little too much lock tight on the end caps
thanks for any and all help

Just went through the same exercise and as someone here pointed out to me, it doesn't matter. there is a recess around the lifter if you recall and oil will flow around it and fill either way.. The manual says hole in, when I took mine out they were hole out from the factory. You don't need to sweat it...
