Okay, so first, yes, I did a bad thing.

It's been 11 years since I pulled an M44 head, and, well, every detail doesn't stick with you over that time. I was pulling the exhaust cam and had the head standing on end so I could see the valves open and close, so I could get the cam to just the right spot where there was only pressure on one pair of springs, as I gradually loosened the cam bearing nuts, and two rockers dropped out at once. Of course luck had it that they weren't a "left" and a "right."

I've looked closely at the wear patterns, and can't match the rollers to either corresponding cam lobe.

So, the question is: In actual practice, can you swap these?
In theory, you can swap roller rockers, since they don't "wipe" across the cam like "old-style" rockers do, but in practice, I know this may not work.

New rockers seem to sell for about $35 each, so it's not a disaster if I have to replace them, but why spend close to a C-note (with tax and shipping) if you don't have to?

Thanks,
