Roller Rocker arm conversion kit.
Need some advice: I have been installing a Crane Roller Rockers on my 351m. It has Aussie heads and a lot of other stuff. I am using the Roller Rocker Arm Conversion Kit. I am running into some problems with the Guide Plates. Some of the guide plates fit perfect on the boss. Some I have to flip over because of the core shift in the pedestal stands,this is normal. My problem is the guide plate alignment hole it looks like a 1/2 moon shape in the middle of the Guide plate is to small to fit on without grinding either the boss or the hole in the guide plate. If you need a pic go to www.cranecam.com installation instructions pn35655-16 and 52655-16. My question is should I grind the guide plate or head pedestal? Thanks Art

I ran into the same problem when I put that kit on my U.S. 2V heads. I ended up taking a little bit off the pedestals. I only had to do it on a couple of them. Most I was able to flip over the guide plate as you've already found out.
