I always lay mine out and number them when removing just to make reinstallation easier. I always team up each cap, lifter, and follower together to go back in the same spot and strictly move the cams between heads. Some say the finger follower should go with teh cam, but I haven't seen compelling evidence of that yet.

I "bagged and tagged" mine. Orientation is easy IF the stamping can be found on the cap. If you guys remember the thread that I mentioned above, MANY of my caps where completely missing stampings and with time, I managed to figure out which went where.
