I don't get what you mean by needing shorter push rods if you use guide plates?????????????

What heads, rockers and valves are you using???

And a lot of wierd noises come from loose flex plates/torque converters

OOPS - should have said longer push rods - the guide plates, as normal, on a pedestal mount Ford head mount under the rockers - which will tell you that my cleaned up GT40P iron heads, mild Ford hydraulic roller cam, 3 angled stock valves, 1.7 Crane Energizer rockers, Crane springs, retainers and locks aren't a real high performance combo, but set up for street reliability.

Yeah, I know about flex plates and torque converters, except that noise seems to be in the front, RHS. I had the inspection/dust shield off over the winter and everything "appears" ok
