Well I have messsed up another set of Roller Rocker arms. Come to find out my RR's are hitting my guideplates. Anyone know where I can get a good set of guide plates for Trick Flow High Port Heads? and can I reuse rocker arms that have been hitting them? The RR's have some wear marks on them.

Thanks for any help....

Try the Corral.net forums specifically for mustangs.

Where are the rockers hitting the guide plates? I can't think of anyway a properly set up set could hit. Is it on the end or the fulcrum?

Its the very end of a few of them. These are rasied guide plates so thats where they rub. Its weird to me to, some say to grind the guide plates, i want to try another set.

Makes it sound like your push rods are to short to me. What kind of pattern do you have on the valve stems? Take a sharpie and mark the valve stem, turn the motor over and make sure it is staying pretty much centered.

I agree sounds like you have something wrong. Did you check your push rod length?
