If you're putting back used (not refaced) tappets on the same (not reground)
camshaft they ran on before, then I believe it is important to put them back in
the same holes.  TRactor motors seem pickier about this than other motors, I
don't know why.  But putting  them in the wrong holes may cause the cam lobe
(and lifter) to "go away" in as little as 5-10K miles.
