SA rockers w/guideplates

Any problem running self-aligning rockers with guideplates? I have both so I thought I might as well use them if there's no problem with it

no need for a guideplate with the self aligning rockers. if i remember right,using both causes bind and wear on the pushrods. dont bother with the guide plates.

Another vote for not a good idea, My opinion would be to use the guideplates and get some rockers that are not self-aligning. That is the better rocker and operate smoothly. But if you cant, NO don't use both, just keep the self-aligning rockers on there!
