out of the bottom of the lifter bore and are at least 0.050" above the exposure from the bore.

10. Be aware that these lifters will work with any block where the oil galley/feed is in the front,
back, or either side of the lifter bore. Oil will not feed properly with feed holes at 45º in the
bore. If lifter bores are bushed, be sure bushings are installed accordingly.

valve train using pre-lube on the camshaft, lifter body, lifter wheel, pushrod (both ends),
rocker arm and valve tip.
12. Rotate the engine while priming the oil pump to make sure an adequate volume of oil is getting
to the top of the engine.
