If the ones on your engine look like this they are self aligning
Note the " ears" that locate the rocker to the valve stem

Look also at the heads: where the push rods come through them, if the holes are narrow slots that fit tight to the push rods, then you CANNOT use SA rockers.
A motor from 86 would not have come with SA rockers. If they use perimeter-bolt valve covers (what 86 heads would have come with), then they almost certainly are not.
