While tearing the engine down I noticed that the guideplates have some wear from the pushrods. I’m running Pro Mag NSA with hardended pushrods and GM guideplates. Is some wear normal? A couple are pretty bad (one may be from when a rocker came loose).
I used a pushrod length checker when I installed everything and the rocker was in the correct place on the valve stem. The plates are flipped the correct way. Rolled the pushrods across glass, they don’t seem bent. I even adjusted the guideplates as much as possible to center the pushrods in the grooves. On a few of the plates the wear is on the outer most edges of the intake and exhaust sides, so adjusting wouldn’t help anyway.
Any thoughts?
