===Stud boss modification=== If a hex stud is to be used, the stud boss will need to be shortened. The amount to remove varies depending on the stud being used; not all studs use the same radius from the hex to the stud. If a guide plate is used, add the thickness of the guide plate, the hex, and the stud radius together to reach the amount that has to be removed. This can be anywhere from about 0.320" to 0.375". The main consideration is that the rocker arm trunnion (if a roller rocker) or the rocker slot/pivot ball (if stamped steel rocker) doesn't bottom out on the stud radius. Check with the manufacturer for these dimensions if need be, otherwise the stud and guide plate can be measured with a caliper.
