Trickflow guideplate question
Ok so the rocker arms line up great on top of the valves, but the pushrods come close to the bottom portions of the guideplates. It is very close to contact. Will this be a problem? Pushrod length is 7.03 (have checked geometry). I am using 1.6RR BTW

Yeah I had custom pushrods made by manton. It did the measurement to get correct geometry. The reason for the different size is that I have a 0 decked block and slightly milled heads.
No I mean at the bottom of the U shape. They are not touching at all until at top of the lift. I am not even sure if they are touching. Just paranoid I guess. It seems like they would just polish out if anything.

I had the same issue, too close for comfort. I took a die grinder and made them about .060" deeper, not touching the sides of course.
