Default Rockers??

I just bought new rockers and my factory ones had little dipples pressed in to fit on the valves as a guide and the one I got don't have that they are just flat will they be fine without that guide I only run 6200 rpm if that makes any difference

Sounds like you purchased a set of non-self aligning roller rockers. If you did, you will definitely need guide plates. Do a search on the subject and you will find a wealth of info. If you don't find what you are looking for, just post again and we will be glad to further assist you.

Yep, you can NOT run NSA rockers without guideplates. There's nothing to keep the rocker centered and it will simply fall off.
