You're gonna have to reach for your wallet; you need hardened pushrods when using guideplates.

Not all guide plates are created equal either. If the plates are solid type and not split you can run into rocker roller tip location alignment problems. You may even spend three hours or more just moving the rockers around reguardless of guide plates to get a good fit.
