Look at the exhuast manifold. The spring just over the exhuast exit are the ones for exhuast...the others are for the intake. If you are right in front of the motor...each cylinder has it's own 2 springs and rockers... One on the left intake right exhuast like Rodman said

Remember to install the rockers by the firing order.. 1,6,5,4,3,2,1

Rear: 2. 4. 6
Front: 1. 3. 5.

You also need to torque them all down when they are at top dead center.
Good luck!

I never TDC torqued, and never had a problem. There is no lash, either. Make sure you put the rockers on the proper valve.

i most definitely made sure that the pedistals and the rockers where on the right valves they were marked on the side of each as intake and exhaust. im not sure now why im having this problem since your saying that there is no need for tdc torque and valve lash.

Double check the torquing on them. Use the write up I posted as a guide. Here is a link to the torque specs as well.
