What size pushrods and studs do these guide plates fit?

These COMP Cams guide plates are designed for Pontiac V8 engines that use 3/8 inch pushrods and 7/16 inch rocker studs. This specific configuration is crucial for proper valve train alignment.

What is the benefit of using guide plates in a performance engine?

Guide plates are essential for performance engines with high lift camshafts and stiffer valve springs. They ensure your pushrods maintain correct alignment, preventing wear on the pushrods, guides, and rocker arms, and maintaining consistent valve train geometry.

What does the black oxide finish do?

The black oxide finish on these guide plates provides added durability and helps resist corrosion. It's a common treatment for engine components to extend their service life.
