Default Quick pushrod question, stupid me??

I just swapped my pushrods and havent torqued down the rockers yet. I forgot which valve is inake and which is exhaust!!! It goes from from to back, intake then exhaust right?? Someone plese help me ASAP so I can finish this. I am such a jackass sometimes.

The valves line up with their respective ports. Or from the drivers side, the first valve is the intake starting from the front of the engine. Just the opposite for the passenger side.

finished buttoning it up bout a half hour ago. It scared the **** out of me on first startup because there wasnt any oil in the pushrods, that **** was clicking like hell for about a few seconds. Took it for a drive and it seems to be all good. I just gotta check the old ones and see if one was really bent.

I found the trick of looking at the exhaust header tube and lining it up with the rocker to be effective too. Good job! I put new rebuilt stockers from Harland on with new pushrods and the noise scared me too, lasted 30 seconds.

yeah at first i was pissed cause I did not feel like tearing it all apart again, I hate taking all that **** off cause theres no room to work with and your hands get all tore up from the damn cowl and those stupid pointy *** screws in the coil bracket.
