Default i screwed up

removed the drivers side cylinder head today. kept track of the pushrods front to back, one slides down into the box, so i dont know if i have it oriented right, it might be upside down. the rocker arms, simple enough to keep these in order, right. not for me. i got two of them mixed up. so, what to do... put it together and hope its right.or, buy all new ****.

there is no difference in rocker arms, they are all the same, intake and exhaust, every cylinder is the same. there is also no way to put a pushrod in these engines upside down. that being said, looks like its time to put it back together.

edit: you are talking about an LS engine arent you?

it doesnt matter which way you put it in, both ends are the exact same, only thing i would do is make sure the oil hole in the center of the pushrods is clean

not that it matters, but i figured out how to tell which end was up. the "top" end is abraded from contact with the rocker arm.
