Maybe the oil hole should go into the oil galley, if it(link bars) will work with it that way Mr.Cab Racing and winning with Mopars since 1964. (Old F--t, Huh)

Ensure that the oil feed hole in the side of the tappet body faces up (away from the crankshaft) They come from the factory with paint marks on them. so you could see it as you put them in that the paint mark was up.
