What material are these guide plates made from?

What is the benefit of supporting the pushrod closer to the rocker arm?

Supporting the pushrod closer to the rocker arm helps to stabilize it. This can lead to improved valve train consistency and can be beneficial in performance applications.

How many guide plates are included in this kit?
