[Amc-list] 1971 360 Heads questions

[Nick ALFANO <71amx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff,

If these are 72 heads and the holes are round, most
likely they were machined at some point for push rod
guide plates.  This is common and a very easy fix.  I
have the guide plates in stock for $39.95 a set.

Hi Eddie.  I hope all is well.
I found '72 heads for my 1971 Javelin...... the
"guide" for the push 
rods is a larger diameter though.  So, my push rods
"dance" now and the 
rocker-arms won't always stay on them.

I had to buy .100" shorter push-rods.  As far as I can
tell, I cannot 
use larger push-rods because they wouldn't fit my
lifters, etc.

So, I must come up with a solution.  What would you
suggest?

The only thing I can think of is to put "sleeves" in
the guide (to 
narrow the diameter).  Problem is, I have no idea
where to get this 
material or who can do it.

I've also considered roller-rockers but Jeg's and
Summit do not have 
all the parts I need.......

What do you suggest?

I'd appreciate any help or suggestions you can give
me.  Have a good 
day!

Thanks,
Shrews
