Yes. If you don't know the position to install rocker arms, that will be a problem.

Your wear pattern match between the old rockers and your valves was destroyed when you installed the new rockers anyway. As long as the old rocker pads and your valves are undamaged, it should be safe to reinstall them. Use assembly grease on the valve tips and pushrod ends to protect them during initial startup.
