LTx head guide plates
Anyone use an aftermarket guide plates on their stock LTx heads? If so who made your guide plates and what part number? Comp 4808 do not work 
Opps I figured it out, for those that need to know, use GM Part Number 14011051. No one makes an aftermarket guide plate that works on GM LTx heads.

I've got a set that came on some used LT1 heads. They are CC but I'd have to dig them up to find out what part# they are.

In fact this week alone I have gone through three sets. I just figured that there had to be a standard off the shelf set of them available that were cheap, as the Iskys are about $45 and the GM parts are less than $2 per plate.

Last H&C swap, I went w/ the Isky adjustables...major PITA and we still didn't get 'em right. With my current H&C upgrades, I changed to the GM #14011051. Hopefully next weekend I'll be measuring the pushrods and checking the valvetrain.
