Re: rocker arm question
As long as they are self-aligning rockers, you don't need guides.
What are you doing for springs? The stock ones won't handle the 1.6's.

Re: rocker arm question
I just did the GM 1.6's and they work great. No guide plates needed (if they are self aligning like LeeH said)
Just bolt them in. tighten to 0 lash (basically when the pushrod goes from easy to spin to hard to spin with your fingers) then give them 3/4 turn more and lock the center locks.
