Proper Orientation of Roller Lifter Holes

hpfiend · May 25, 2006

Hey all,

I read somewhere that the orientation of the lifter holes when installing new lifters in a block for a heads, cam, and intake swap does not matter.

Is this true? FWIW I will be installing the Ford Racing roller lifters in a production ford 302 block in my 90 mustang...

Thanks,
Andrew

Most seem to suggest installing the lifters with the hole towards the valley/center of engine or "up". When I took my old engine apart which was never messed with they were in randomly, which shows Ford doesn't specify a special way they are supposed to go. Doesn't matter in my book but you can put them all in facing up and feel good about it.

Doesn't matter, but put them up towards the valley as previously mentioned if you are anal like me.
