What happens if you use roller rockers with a regular set of heads that do not have guide plates? My heads (Vortec) have a pretty tight area that the push rods go through in the head. What is the difference between that and a guide plate as far as function?
I've seen other castings of heads that have a larger area where the push rods go through, so I could understand that you would need them there.
Sorry if it's a stupid question, but I really don't know the answer.........
I'd like to use my crane aluminum roller rockers. If I have to buy guide plates and studs, plus the machine work, I would be better off buying guide plates and studs for my RPM heads.
