What misslead you to think the Comp guideplates fit. This is not news atall, very common knowledge.

I went with GMPP guideplates and then when those wore I went with Isky Adjustable.

LT1 valve spacing is different from most other SBCs which causes the rockers not to line up with the valves well. They do contact but are nowhere near straight.
