    My understanding is that you can but you have to run pushrod guide plates. You may also need to open up the push rod holes in the head.

    The Scorpions I bought were only $10 more than the non self-aligning. Made for an easier install due to the valve stem height.

    If you're changing valves and retainers it may be just as easy to do guide plates.

    I can't see a problem with it. I always use a valvetrain geometry checking tool though. A $20 tool no toolbox should be without.
