First, I did not keep the push rods in order when I took them out...I may have read it is important to keep them in order. Is this true and if so what now?
Second, the head gasket I bought yesterday is a Fel-Pro 7276 B. It says use no sealant...should I trust this?

If they are mismatched they may go out of adjustment fast until they wear back in to their new spot. This is no problem, just means you may need frequent adjustment at first.
