Like said factory manual call for a certain position for the hole but most engine builders agree does not mater.

Huh...I thought the last set I did only had one flat side? Been a while. Getting ready to do cams on my Roadking now. Learn something new everyday...

All of them that I have seen have two flats in case the keeper is in the opposite side, like the other bank.



Especially for those who are careful of the orientation, yea like me.

I would've sworn on my stock lifters, the oil holes faced outward. Matter of fact I know they did.

Heck yeah! How far of a ride is that for you? Do you happen to have the bearing tool? If not, I am going to buy one. I like having the right stuff around for later...
