Did I put these rocker arms correctly?

Here is one side of the rocker arm assembly. I couldn't finish the other side because JEGS shorted me one rocker arm and two bolts. They are on the way in the mail. I hope they could tell the difference between the right and left rocker arm because I was missing a right on the other side. Did I assemble this side right at least?

looks right to me...as long as you got the oil holes in the rocker shaft pointing towards the valves, you should be good to go

hard to tell from that photo, best way is to take pictures of each cylinders rocker arms from above... secondly, just make sure you have good clearance between the pushrods and the cylinder head

but, it looks pretty good from the initial view.

There should be a spacer ring on the shaft between each pair of rocker arms, four per side.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Looks like they are there to me

I got all the spacers between each set of rocker arms. As for the oil holes on the rocker shaft I just put them facing down. The oil holes on the rocker arm are noticeable not little ones like on each individual rocker arm. I believed to be in the right order but just wanted to get second opinion.

Facing "down" is correct, but they are not even with the mount holes, they are about 15* offset from the mount bolts...you need to make sure those little holes that lube the rockers are more towards the valves than the intake

Do you have a service manual? Proper procedure & pictures are in there
