There should be one or two holes on the side of the lifter and another one in the cup at the top of the lifter where the push rod rides. Inside the lifter bore there is an channel that lines up with the whole on the sides of the lifter. The oil goes through the motor and into that channel, into the whole in the side of the lifter, filling the lifter, and then up through the whole in the cup and up through the pushrod. Hope that helps...

so i took a look at the lifters.
as expected, there was a small hole in the side. i had noticed the indent originally, but didnt notice the little hole
anyway, does it matter which side the hole is on during install? im guessing the oil is supplied to both sides of the lifter?

Yes, its supplied on both sides of the lifter. It doesnt matter which way it is installed, and the wishbone is what keeps the lifter lined up with that oil passage in the lifter bore. Just in case you were wondering

i figured both sides of the lifter would be supplied, but wasnt 100% sure about the lifters on the ends. wouldnt make sense for them to not be the same as the rest, but i didnt want to assume anything
