    Which Felpro LIM Gasket? W/ or W/o Pushrod Guides?

    Well, my '95 Monte Carlo with the 3100 is leaking coolant into the crankcase again (big surprise), so it looks like it's time to replace the LIM. The first time it happened my dad owned the car and had the work done at a shop. I work at Autozone and I plan on doing this myself, but there are two different gasket sets from Felpro: one set that has pushrod guides and another does not. Which one do I need?

    do you know the difference between ball and stud type rockers vs rolelr fulcrum? look in your oil ca at a rocker, if they're the newer roller style, you need without guides

    Cammed 3500 --> ???

      I'm not sure that I do. Do you have a picture?

        I think that's backwards. It says in the item descriptions I have found that the roller rockers got the guide tabs and the ball and pivot ones did not. The ball and pivot ones should have pushrod guides bolted under the rocker studs. I think the roller style has those tabs just to hold the rod in place when assembling and disassembling the engine.
