Doing some work, and when I pulled the lifters out I was a bit puzzled. If you look at the picture and see the blue paint marks, the 2 lifters on the front cylinder had the paint marks facing outboard, and the rear cylinder had the exhaust lifter mark facing outboard, and the intake lifter mark facing inboard. Someone has been in the cam chest, as it has the Screaming Eagle hydraulic tensioner cam plate/oil pump conversion in it. If the answer is in the manual, I can't find it. Any idea what's going on here?
Lifter orientation doesn't matter, they can go in either way. If putting old ones back in try to get them in the original hole/direction

They're coming with the new cams.
