Overview

The COMP Cams 4838-1 is a set of pushrod guideplates designed for Ford 429-460 c.i.d. V8 engines. These guideplates are raised, non-adjustable, and made from hardened steel with a black oxide finish for durability.

They are essential for high-rpm motors, ensuring pushrods remain aligned with lifter cups and rocker arms, preventing deflection or sideways movement. The guideplates feature exact stud placement and rounded contact points, requiring machine work for installation.
