RE: heads- roller rocker questions By Gerry Proctor - 09/08/2004 3:21:27 PM; IP 207.133.188.254 You don't have to use a guide plate just because you use a screw in stud. When you have the heads machined to accept the stud the machinist will mill the boss for the proper depth without the guideplate. You'd have a hard time using a threaded stud without the shoulder since there is no tension on the threads to keep it tight. As a final note, the guideplate/stud has nothing to do with interferrence of the rocker to the valve cover. The top of the stud ends up in the same place as a pressed-in stud. That's purely a matter of rocker selection. Talk it over with your machinist about what sort of guide you want to use.

This thread, so far...
