The ones that came with mine do oil..........LA roller......I bought EQ heads......but it was rebuilt by an unknown rebuilder (I bought it new from a private party who never got it into his van) ANYhow, they oil, but as they are new replacements and not OEM, hard to say

guess its a ancient chinese secret...

the stock roller lifters that i got with my LA roller cam Block will do pushrod oiling...if you use hollow pushrods. So the answer to your question is yes.

NO! My 89 Fifth Ave which is a roller LA 318 does NOT have provisions for oiling head thru push rods... simply check for the oil hole on top of the roller lifter which mine does not
