Fix My Hog Answers George, We always face the oil passages toward each other on Evolution motors. On Twin Cams, it should not matter but it is best to always keep organized working habits.

    I have a 2005 dyna twin cam I am putting new cams and lifters in it; the new lifters are the 18538-99C's and the oiler hole is parallel with the roller does the oiler hole go to the front of the bore or does it go toward the back. please advise.
