351W valve lash caps

I have a 1979 351 W engine in my 66 F100. I recently pulled the heads and took them to a shop for a rebuild. While at the shop a worker pulled the valve lash caps off of the heads and handed them to me so that I could re install when I reassembled the engine.

I got the heads back today but forgot to ask if the lash caps went on the intake or exhaust valves. I think he said they went on the exhaust valve stems but wanted to double check here first.

Thanks for your time!

They only fit the valve stems they're designed for.
