CUTTING GUIDEPLATES IN HALF

[CONCRETEWARFARE]

I got a set of e7s with guideplates on them and they were too narrow so I was told to try and cut them in half to get the rockers centered on the valve. Now when I go to torque down the stud the guideplate spins and loses its place. How do I keep it from spinning? Can I put a lockwasher in between the stud and guideplate and see if that helps?

You need to weld the guide plates back together... ISKY sells adjust guide plates that you fit then weld together. You need then welded or you can have major issues....

Are you using the COMP stud conversion??

yup they need to be welded back once where u want them. i have saw the isky ones they work well

You're going to have a really hard time trying to cut them in half cleanly, as they are hardened steel, so don't even mess around with doing that.

Hello,

i use the isky guide plates too. The adjustment with it is very easy.
The left side of the picture you see my old cut and welded AFR guide plates. The adjustment with them was a pain.
The part number of the isky´s is 200-AGP.

Thanks guys. I dont know what was used they are thumper e7s converted to stud mount. How much do the iskys run?

Can they be soldered or do they deffinately have to be welded?
