What is the main benefit of using guide plates?

Guide plates help keep your pushrods aligned and stable. This is important for ensuring consistent valve train operation and can prevent excessive wear on the pushrods and rocker arms.

What material are these guide plates made from?

These guide plates are constructed from high-grade alloy steel and have been hardened to 60 Rockwell C. This provides a strong and durable surface to handle the friction from the pushrods.

Do these guide plates come with pushrods?

No, these guide plates are sold separately and do not include pushrods. You will need to ensure you have the correct pushrods for your engine build.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your Ford small-block engine, specifically a 289, 302, or 351 Windsor, these guide plates from Edelbrock are a solid choice. They're designed to help keep your pushrods aligned and stable, which is crucial for consistent valve train operation, especially when you're pushing the engine a bit harder.

These guide plates are made from high-grade alloy steel and then hardened to 60 Rockwell C. This means they're built to handle the constant contact and friction from the pushrods. The stepped design is key here; it supports the pushrod closer to the rocker arm. This added support helps prevent the pushrod from flexing or deflecting, ensuring that the rocker arm receives the intended motion from the camshaft. You get them in a set of 8, enough for a V8 engine.
