Something I don't really understand, is why everybody(?) wants a lifter's oil band to align with the boss's feed hole when on the cam's base circle. I've built at least a couple dozen engines (half of them Pontiacs) with the lifters starting to move before uncovering any of the hole. Many OEMs are designed this way, and it's NEVER caused a problem for me.
