I'm about to install my lifters bleed them and they seem to be good. Now when i put them in does orientation of the holes (shell and inner piston) matter? Holes need to be lined up with one another? Or does it even matter. Can't find any info on this . Thanks. Oh and the hole in the rail (sorry don't know what it's called) in where it seats. Thanks again
 
I'm reviving this a little bit. When installing lifters, is there a certain order they need to be in? I know on other motors, it can flatten cams if they don't go back to where they used to be?

Considering our "lifters" are actually lash adjusters which never contact the camshaft(s), you'll be fine.
