chrome moly pushrods get scarred up from guideplates?
Im getting the LE2 setup done, the heads have been sent out, im looking now for all the supporting parts, the car will have guide plates and i was looking at chrome moly pushrods but read that guide plates will scratch the chrome moly pushrods and cause them to fail. The site said that case hardened is what you need to use. I this true? Also what would be a good case hardened set to get, I'm really going overkill on the top end cause I dont want anything to break.

So make sure you get some Bowtie guideplates and some good Hi Tech pushrods.

Will grinding anywhere on a guideplate damage them?
I have comp hi-tech pushrods and isky adjustable guideplates (i had to get adjustables for my application), and a few had to be ground on...one or two to clear the washer on my arp head studs... no grinding near the pushrod slot, though.

Only near where they rub would it hurt. The hardening is a surface coat, once you grind past it, it isnt there. As long as its not around the slot, its ok
