Valve lifter orientation

Does it matter which way the lifters go in? The engine oil passage is on the bottom side of the bore, and the oil hole on the lifter is 90 degrees away from it.

Ok, I put them in with the oil hole facing the rear. No real reason. The guides let them go in either way, and the lifter oils all the way around the body, so it probably doesn't make any difference.

Sorry John, looked around a bit but didn't find a good reference. Hope the project is going well.
