And this regarding the Crower Camsaver lifters....

"I went with these Crower camsaver lifters because they are hydraulic flat tappet, and allow for pushrod oiling if you choose to use that feature. Each lifter has 2 opposing small flats on the outside which allows a small amount of oil to flow along the outside of the lifter housing. As the lifter rotates this oil sprays onto the cam lobe to give the cam direct oiling rather than the "splash only" oiling the engine came with from the factory."

Note on page 137 they have two different part numbers for the Pontiac Hyd flat tappet lifter. One with camsaver and one without.
And a note about camsaver at the bottom of the page:
