Hey SB, This whole thing took a weird turn a while ago.
1. Because it was noted from another post that my rockers were not centered over the valve tip I ASSUMED that I must have the standard fixed guide plates.
2. Earlier when I had the engine open to replace a defective lifter I should have noticed that I already had adjustable guide plates but I wasn't in there for that so it went unnoticed by me.
3. Because I'm so smart, I ordered 2 new sets of adjustable push rod guide plates from AFR because again being so smart I knew that I must have the fixed GM guide plates.
4. When I opened the engine up for the 2nd time to begin swapping out the guides is when I realized that I already had adjustable push rod guide plates. Obviously I'm not that smart. I should have at least taken a look before ordering the EXACT ones that I already had. As it turns out, my guy didn't align the rockers as well as he should have.
5. It was mentioned that it was weird that one engine would have the adjustable guide plates and the other did not. BOTH engines always had the adjustable push rod guide plates. My guy should have taken a little more time aligning the rockers.
I don't know if this clears it up or not.
I do appreciate your commenting on this.

Building marine engines custom even with a mild recipe is difficult at best. There's a lot of moving parts to the process.
If one of the worst things is you ordered guide plates when you had them on already...no big deal. Mr. Murphy is always along for the ride.
Count your blessings you're not on here getting info on rebuilding the re-builds.

This coming from a guy who had to email me and explain a joke you were setting up for me and tell me what to post ...
You`re a weird dude .. I don`t need your life line, advice or what ever the hell you were talking about , I still don`t get your "set up" or joke but okay good talk .
and don`t call me danny , we`re not friends and I`m not 6 years old.
Jayboat posts pictures so I have npo idea what the hell you`re talking about there either .
I do appreciate the compliments thou .
Hey Dan, I wanted to reach out to you about the Stu Jones fiasco but knew it wasn't my place so I dropped it until I saw your post on props and something slightly humorous came to me. I have already posted the setup. The "pay off" is lame as hell where I will post the pic of your boat (the ass end) and say " Show your ass again". It's really a dumb ass dad joke but again, this is more about the lifeline like a few of your friends threw you in the Stu debacle but you didn't take advantage of. It would be a positive thing if you give my stupid ass joke an "Lol" and admit that you were a little out of line that day. You have a pretty good standing on this site and people look up to you and really like what you have accomplished.
FYI, the Stu Jones thing is still on my mind so I'm pretty sure it's on others too. It was just so unnecessary.
I told my son-in-law this a while ago, "You don't need a dog in every fight" and as your friends mentioned, you don't have to die on every hill you come across. Lighten up Dan. We are supposed to be all on the same page.....except for that dickhead "Jayboat". I read some of his earlier posts. He seemed happier when he was freeloading rides and drinks from people. 😳

Still LMFAO danny, This is awesome!! You are on my ignore list so I see you posted but not the posts themselves. I'm sure these posts were well thought out, witty, and very helpful. I hope you get many "likes" on both of them which is really your goal anyway. Gotta feed that delicate ego of yours.
I'm not sure how many more of your helpful posts it will take before a moderator on this site notices that you are unhinged and appear to be stalking me. Maybe it's cyberbullying?
All I'm saying is you liberals have made all sorts of stupid sh!t illegal or punishable so if you keep after it you might get yourself banished from the site. I'm pretty sure you would not be able to handle that because even though you are probably on every other platform known to man, you hold this site in high regard and would really miss being here. Then of course I would be the guy who got you kicked so I might as well be banished too.
Even though everyone knows English is your second language, I'm sure you can understand this formal request from me. Please do not post on any of my threads.
Of course you are free to start as many threads as you want saying whatever you want about me, my boat, my engines, whatever. Just please not on my threads.
I do appreciate the ONE THING you helped with which was to add a ground wire to my sending units. Thank you for that.
Please put me on your ignore list that way you don't have to suffer any of my questions or comments. It's very liberating.
Bye danny
