Previous Owner pulled out the pushrods without labeling them. (Why? heck if I know) I've heard they should go back in the same holes they came out of. How critical is this? Or can I put them back in anywhere and reset the lash? (Solid Lifters)
BTW the engine is a low milage rebuild previously adapted to a 53 Pickup, so all the mounts are in the right place!

The valves may become noisy at first as they wear in, but I doubt it.

The lifters absolutely must stay with the cam lobes they ran-in on, so if it's ever necessary to remove them, or turn the engine to an angle where they might fall out of their bores, take them out and label them so they can go back into the same hole they came out of.
