Lifter oil holes?

    Hi

    Could someone please clarify for me the way you point the oil holes in your lifters. My understanding is after reading the manual they are faced inboard which I personally would have thought meant facing up towards the opposing set of lifters, but apparently inboard is facing away from each other being rear cylinder lifters oil holes face rear wheel and front cylinder lifters oil hole face front wheel.

    Is this correct ?

    Cheers

    On a modern harley they can go any way.

    Oil floods around the lifter and finds the hole

    Thanks for that Gnoo i'm pretty sure I have them the right way but if that doesnt really matter that makes me feel a lot better.
    Cheers
