Shouldn't matter. If one side is oval and the other is round, that means its a floating valve bridge. Once the engine is started it will cnter itself. A 3406E CAT is set up the same way

One side is opened up a bit (slotted) to prevent any chance of binding due to spacing tolerances and guide wear.
