Prep'n Engine - pulling pan and valve cover, what the change?

Thanks,

Looks like I need to scribe the number and orientation into the top before 
I pull them, just to be safe.


I remember by brother installing a new cam in his Nissan truck and having 
it seize when he tried to turn it over because the cam bound up.  Avoiding 
that would be a good thing :)
