It's also a good idea to keep the pushrods in the exact postion they were removed from as they have a wear pattern . Get a piece of cardboard and punch some holes in it and number them from front to back like in the engine . Place the pushrods in the holes to keep them in the proper order till you put them back . ;)

ok here is what happen so you guys don't think i am an idiot....

I did put the push rods in order on a piece of cardboard. i was putting in the rods and then i started thinking i had them in the wrong spot and was i started thinking that all hell broke loose and i had to go back in the house and figure out how they go. so they are in the same spot as before. maybe you guys will still think i'm and idiot... lol. thanks for the help.
