I don't know if they're self alligning, I assume not since the seller is
advertising Rockers, Guideplates and studs as a package. My truck is rev
limited to 5200 rpm so the RPM isn't an issue right now. I think if I did
install the Crowers I'd get the new pushrods and use the guideplates, better
safe than sorry.
