Just wondering if you can do this set up? And is anybody running this set up. Not sure iif this will work with self-aligning rockers or if you have to use non self aligning rockers with guide plates.

It may fit, but I wouldn't recommend it on a high reving SBC. I'd resolve the valve train geometry another way.

No! Alignment slot of rocker arm fits the stem dia. Lash cap has a larger O.D. (outside diameter) so obviously, width of notch in rocker arm won't fit.
