You really should. It will make your life easier, especially since you're completely disassembling and rebuilding your motor.

Should have a polished area where the lobe rides on the arm, that also would be a clue... Tedd

How can it go any other way? It's spring loaded, and if you put it in upside down it wouldn't touch the eccentric. Not to mention that you'd never be able to hook up the stock fuel lines again.
