Course he could by new pushrods/guideplates...
Actually, I believe centerbolt valvecovers also require a narrow-body rocker. If you wanna get the good stuff, it looks like CC PROMAGs aren't cheap!

The stock self-aligning rocker ratio is 1.5:1; if you install 1.6:1 rockers you will need to remove the non-hardened OEM guide plates.
For this reason I installed hardened guides & push rods with 7/16" studs and non self aligning 1.6:1 CC ProMagnum RRs.
Of course you will also need new springs as the stocks are pretty weak even when new.

Why do you have to remove the non-hardened OEM guide plates when installing 1.6 rockers??

L88 heads. Need Info
OK here is the stupid question of the day. I have an 84 Corvette that I am rebuilding (attempting) the engine on. I am about to place the heads on the block. They are identical so I did not mark right or left. Now when I go to put them on I find the water temp sending unit for the fan in the threaded hold on the rear of the head under the exhaust manafold. Now then, the other head has a hole in the exact location as the other head.
What goes in that hole?
I am ready to take all the obuse for being this dumb. I bagged and marked everything I took off and also took a picture of it, except for the heads.
Anyone that can help me I will be in debt to.
Thanks
Ron
