Does "For Use with Guideplates" means that they HAVE to use Guideplates or can I use them without?
The reason I want to use the above TrickFlow pushrod is becuase I can get them localy.
That just means the stem material is strong enough to withstand the possible wear that could result from the pushrod rubbing on the plate. You're good to go. Check pushrod to cylinder head clearance, they are fatter, .375 instead of .312...
