Default Need quick answer from motor guru's

I've always been told that roller motors are pretty good about not "meshing" the lifter to the pushrod.
On this 3.0 I've taken apart, I have the lifters and pushrods in order, but the rockers got jambled out of order a bit. None of the pushrods or rockers look wore...think it will be ok?
Or should I buy a whole new outfit?
I ask because I can get it cheaper this weekend if I need to, but all seems to look in good shape.
Just don't want to go through this hell again.

Thanks,
alex.

If it's only the rockers I would just go ahead and put them in. Worse case scenario, you would only have to remove the valve covers to replace them.
