From what I've learned, as long as they go back into the same spot as they came from then you should be fine. I always get a piece of cardboard and label them as I take them out and push them into the cardboard to keep them in order. FYI, the rocker bolts are TTY and not reuseable, so hopefully you have new bolts for those and also know what rocker goes where if you removed them from the head completely. These motors don't need lash adjustments like older pushrod motors, so just tighten the rockers to the specs 1 by 1 and call it good. Hydraulic lifters FTW.

Dont forget some assembly lube, better safe than sorry. And just torque to spec with new bolts.

Being a 3800, all rods are the same length. Even if you don't put them back into the same spot, it's fine.
