Answer

Welcome. With out your year of car I cannot be certain about the markings, but the intake push rods are 1/4" shorter that the exhaust. Below is a section from a 1998 3.1.
• The intake pushrods are marked with yellow stripes and are 5 3/4 inches long.
• Exhaust pushrods are marked with green stripes and are 6 inches long.
