Yes, I installed the 5/16" pushrod guide plates.They fit right under the rocker studs. The install was easy but due to the new LS1 firing order I had to adjust the valve lash on each cylinder one at a time.rayg said:Did you install the push rod guide plates?
I'm not sure of the details for the internal parts of this engine yet but, typically if you add guideplates you need to change the pushrods to hardened pushrods or the guideplates will wear through your original pushrods. If you had guideplates before you should be ok or if the original pushrods are hardened you should be ok.53wanab said:Yes, I installed the 5/16" pushrod guide plates.They fit right under the rocker studs.

If not you better check the wear on the pushrods before they wear through or break.
Thats good.. Now you won't need to worry about all those metal shavings in you engine...53wanab said:Thanks for the thought,but you are correct,I also installed the comp cams hardened pushrods.Whew!
