COMP Cams Guide Plate CS 5/16 (Flat)

If you're building a performance Chevrolet small block engine, you'll want to make sure your valvetrain components are properly aligned. This flat, one-piece guide plate from COMP Cams is designed to do just that, ensuring your 5/16" diameter pushrods stay centered on the camshaft lobes, especially in high-lift applications.

This guide plate is made from hardened steel and finished with a black oxide coating for durability and corrosion resistance. It's designed for a precise fit on Chevrolet 265-400 cubic inch small block engines that use 7/16" rocker studs. The rounded contact points help prevent premature wear on your pushrods, which is crucial when you're running stiffer springs or cams with more aggressive lift profiles. It's a simple but necessary piece for any performance build where valvetrain stability is key.
