About this part

Product Details

Manley Performance is well-known for making strong internal engine components. This pushrod guide plate, part number 42160-8, is designed for Ford 429 and 460 engines. It helps keep your pushrods properly aligned within the engine block, which is crucial for consistent valve train operation.

This guide plate is made from meticulously crafted stamping, meaning it's formed with precision. It's also heat-treated for added durability and finished with a black oxide coating.
