Reply to "CHI 3v 225 Heads Guide Plates"

Finally heard back from Mark at CHI via email. I asked him what combo of rocker arm, guide plate and lifter he recommends but he didn't answer. This is what he replied with.

#Yes you could grind clearance in existing guide plates and stay with 5/16” if you like. We always use at least 3/8” pushrods to eliminate flexing.

#I’m sure Manley have a 5/16” version of the same guide plates we use.

#Don’t use BBC rockers, they are longer on the nose and won’t sit on the valves right.

I am going to buy one Manley guide plate and take it the shop and see if it helps the clearance and pushrod issue. Probably going to have to hope things can move around to work or just cut and weld the plates based on what everyone has reported.
