Description

You can ensure proper pushrod alignment and prevent valvetrain bind in your Small Block Chevrolet (SBC) engine with the Edelbrock Pushrod Guide Plates. We designed them for you to use with aftermarket cylinder heads that require guide plates. These high-quality plates ensure that your pushrods maintain the correct angle as they move through the cylinder head. This prevents wear on the pushrods and valve stems. This also maximizes valvetrain efficiency.

These Edelbrock guide plates are constructed from hardened steel. This provides durability and long-lasting performance. In fact, they are effective even in high-RPM and high-performance applications. We designed them for you to use with 5/16″ diameter pushrods. They are typically required when you use non-self-aligning rocker arms. Proper pushrod alignment is crucial for you to have optimal valvetrain geometry. This reduces friction and extends the life of your engine’s vital components.
