I just dropped my new ones in once I had the cam back in the block and fastened down the the retainer plate.

Obviously they need to be oriented a certain way to ride correctly on the cam, but that's easy to do. The lifter trays aid in this as well.

Doesn't hurt to soak them in oil prior to installing. Some folks recommend at least a day for this.

Good luck!

Just drop them in with thew roller wheel going in the direction with the cam lobe, no special way to do it.
