Example- will not fit some AFR heads due to altered valve centerline locations.

*NOTE: Many OE SBC heads use pressed in studs. Heads with pressed in studs require machine work.

Factory heads w/ screw in studs which normally used self aligning rockers (LT1, etc) should know adding guide plates will raise the stud height by the thickness of the guide plate.  Possible fitment issues are: The need for taller valve covers, pushrods and the possibility of a fitment issue with the poly lock. (rocker adjuster nut)

Do not install crimp style adjuster nuts without appropriate lubrication.
