The smaller ones go in the smaller holes.

Exhaust valves are above the exhaust ports - the others are Intake!
I believe they are in this order; EIIEEIIE
I think the firing order is the same as Chevy: 18436572
Can't think of anything else you'd be describing - - -

Well this explains why my last valve job was a complete failure...

Is it necessary to install the valves in their exact places? (Like #1 intake cannot go in #2 intake's position.) I thought I heard that before, but the accuracy is questionable. Maybe I am thinking about cam contact parts...

Well, the Oldsmobile valves rotate, so they wear perfectly evenly all the way around.

It's a good idea to keep them in order.
