block it off with a allen like the other side of the case has..yes you use the top guide

[onetime468]

now do i have to run the top guide in that case....thank you for the wuick response

[knecum]

yes, but why wouldn't you want to? which one you talking about? under the valve cover?.. no need to remove the valve cover

[onetime468]

yeah the little one under the valve cover... was just wondering if there was a need for it

i remove the one under the valve cover when im running the heavy duty roller chain conversion due to i have seen the chain contact the metal part of guide. but on stock chain setup i would leave it

Just a side note when you do leave that top guide off on roller chain setups. The chain almost always touched the valve cover ... You have to keep up on the tension on it. Butit still can hit. I wish they made a guide for the use of the roller chain .. I would run one just for that reason.
