Default Stupid Cam Swap Question

I just got done buttoning everything up after doing a T-Rex cam and springs swap on my LS1. Before installing the rockers, when I went to put the bar-tray thing that the rockers sit on, I couldnt remember which way it sat. I just figured logically that it would sit so that you could read the stamped letterings. I confirmed this by looking at the LS1howto guide pictures.

However, I was just loading some pics from the swap, and found one that I snapped before I took the old springs out. It shows the rocker tray/bar thingy being upside down.

Does it matter? Should I go back in there and flip it around? Stoopid question, but I just want to be sure.

I also came across that question. I looked and looked and couldn't see that it would make a differance so i just slapped them on. Works just fine. They are the same either way you have it.

glad all turned out good. for future reference, when this happens look at the parts really close up and pay attention to contact markings, sometimes that can tell you which way to install.
