This is the critical time the lifter needs to refill itself. If the Olds oil hole lines up with the oil band at base circle, you're golden!
Question Paul,
Why does everyone tout about Johnson lifters being the best to get if the oil band is in the wrong location for a Pontiac application. Or is it?
I've never heard that complaint before yet from the sound of this entire thread no one makes a correct Pontiac lifter.....
