Hard to for me to give you a for sure answer without seeing them, but all aluminum headed engines I've seen either had guide plates or self aligning rockers. If the push rod slots are small so the push rods barely have any 'wiggle' clearance then you want NON self aligning (but I've never seen aluminums like this). If you have guide plates then you want hardened push rods and NON self aligning. If the slots are wide open and no guide plates then use self aligning rockers. Make sense?
