I don't think it matters. I usually point them into the flow of oil. Seems like they may fill a little faster.

The hole is in the recessed area of the lifter. Which allows flow around the lifter and on to the next one. It doesn't matter which way the hole is turned.

That's what I'm running with my 370 build. Wish the 243s were P&P'd though.

I read more about those caddy lifters after I bought my LS7s, they do look nice! But I'm sure th LS7s will be just fine too though
