Default Rocker arm pedestal orientation

Hi, I'm currently doing valve springs and seals on my 03. For reinstalling the rocker arms, does it matter which orientation the spacer/pedestal is put back in? It's the long spacer that the rockers sit on. It looks symmetrical but I can't tell if it matters (words facing up or down ).

I believe it does matter, I believe you should be able to read the words (as in they should not be upside down). These are things I believe...and I may be wrong.

Having said that...all the FSM says is "Install the valve rocker arm pivot support." It does mention installing the components "to the original location and position"...which kind of introduces a little gray area.
