What size pushrods and rocker studs do these guide plates work with?

These COMP Cams guide plates are designed to work with 3/8-inch diameter pushrods and 7/16-inch rocker studs. This is a common setup for many performance Chevrolet Small Block engines.

Why are guide plates necessary for performance engines?

Guide plates are crucial in performance engines with high lift camshafts and stiff valve springs. They ensure the pushrods maintain a straight path, preventing them from rubbing against the cylinder head and causing wear or misalignment.

What is the finish on these guide plates and why is it important?

The guide plates are hardened and feature a black oxide finish. This finish adds durability and helps protect against corrosion, which is important for longevity in the harsh environment of an engine.
