Looking at the 4 p-rod tubes...
The two tubes inside are Intake (in) The two tubes outside are Exhaust (out)

Looking at the lifters, the two inside towards the motor are intake & the two outside away from the motor are exhaust

Congrats, Next time, you can do both intake and exhaust on one cyclinder at the same time. Just make sure lifters are both "at the bottom" first by slowly
rotating the engine.
