Is there any kind of links or anything that can be supplied so I can do more research?

Re: Guide Plate Question

Pushrods are the thing everyone wants to forget about, but they should be the stiffest spring in the whole car.

Notice that the technical notes for those plates on the GM site is for use on a V6. Obviously, that does not apply to the LT1.

Re: Guide Plate Question

Maybe just me, but I'm still looking for a non adjustable guide plate that aligns correctly on all four cylinders on @ head.

If you mean an LT1 head, you should be getting the GM p/n 14011051 (p/n mis-stated as 1401051 at the beginning of this thread).

OK, so what did the notes say to use for cylinders 3 and 4?

Actually Shoe, I was serious about that part #, even though I added the big grin. The was an attempt at being cleaver. Guess it backfired.

Re: Guide Plate Question

You need pushrod guideplate 14011051. Note that the part number is for only one plate. You will need 8.

Yeah, it also says it's a V6 head, but buy it anyway. It's the right one.
