hydraulic lifters will have the oil hole in the oil band/groove of lifter,that lets oil flow through oil galleys.
the lifter that have to be slotted sometimes won't be hydraulic, will be soild roller or flat tappet the oil hole is above the band and that meters the oil sometimes it meters too good,then you have to make a small groove from oil band to oil hole which is above the oil band..
another check after you see oil galley is getting oil ar rear is to pull front lifter and check oil flow there, to verify the oil bands on lifters are lined up in the oil galley allowing oil to pass lifters
