Hyd lifters, which direction do you have to have the oil hole (on the side) pointing? Up or down?

Thanks

Yeah my stock lifters came out with 13 facing one way and the other 3 the other way. I believe Rick91Gt has a good reasoning for where the oil holes should point. I think he liked them down...maybe he will chime in and confirm this
