Thread: Broken Guideplate

Tweet

What would cause this? What would my next steps be to fixing this?

the back side of your rocker arms are hitting them at full lifte the make of your guide plate look thin to . they look thin . look at your out side of the stamp rocker and the guide plate were it steps up looks like it is hitting there i have had that happen on roller rockers had to go with long pushrods and i would get some gm guilde plates for the old mark 4 engines there are about 1/8 thick the ones you have look like mark 6

nice denny .hey denny in his photo 1254 you can see on #3 look down the pushrod and the outside of his rocker body the body looks like it sitting on the step up on the guilde plate

Heck, all them dang valves and pushrods are crooked!!!! The BBC valve train always to me looked like proof that some engineer's drink too much!!!!!!
