Both ends are the same.
Check them carefully for pitting etc.
make sure the insides are not clogged up.
Ideally they are kept in the same position .. and end-for-end.,
They'll be all right mixed up.
Be careful installing them to make sure they are centered in the middle
of the lifter.
I *look* down each push rod tub with a minilight to make sure it's in
the middle.
Check the rocker arm screw faces for being beat up .
