Set of 6 C4633 4 oz./set — (enough for one side)

CHROME ACORN NUTS: For ends of top engine studs. Keep ends of those studs from rusting!

Set of 12 C3413 6 oz./set

VALVE GUIDES: Have yours checked. Oversized refers to outside diameter (inside will be stock). Usually .001 OR .002 are used unless bore is in bad

condition. For larger than .002 the bore will have to be reamed. Stock guide o.d. is 0.517”. Original guides were steel; we only sell superior bronze guides.

TOOL – GUIDE INSTALLER: See page 336

MANGANESE BRONZE – SUPERIOR MANGANESE BRONZE – SUPER SAFE

Better heat dispersion and wear resistance. Use for intake and exhaust ALL

engines (originally for Turbo exhaust). If the guide is forced into too tight a

bore, the inside may need to be honed back to size. SOLD EACH – 4 oz. each

We are now offering the following bronze guides that are an exact original

replacement but with a snap ring installed where guide protrudes out of

head. This eliminates possibility of a guide ever dropping into the head.

DO NOT ORDER STAINLESS SHIMS WITH THESE GUIDES.

PUSH ROD GEOMETRY KIT: More info – C8640A FREE 1 oz.

This Kit allows you to determine exact length of push rods needed to compensate for thicker gaskets, machined gasket surfaces, reground

cams, etc. Correct length has many benefits with regards to reduced valve train noise and less wear and tear on all components, especially

the valves, valve stems and guides. Kit includes necessary parts and detailed instructions. All 1960-69.

Custom length push rods below. NOTE : You will need access to large dial calipers. C8640 1 lb. 8 oz./ea

HEAVY DUTY TAILORED PUSH RODS

Proper push rod length can give superior engine performance. With the geometry kit above you can determine what you need for custom length, heavy duty push rods.

Heavy duty push rods are 3 times stronger than stock which is important for accurately opening valves at higher RPM with no deﬂection. Our NEW cams have controlled

lobe size so you only need to allow for the amount of material that may have been removed from the head & not compensated for with Big Bore head gaskets.

NOTES: 1 – The part numbers in line with “minus” are shorter than standard, the “plus” are longer. 2 – These are the only sizes available.
