Could backwards guideplates do all this?
I think i may have found my cam problem and valve train. I found out i installed the guideplates upside down therefore breaking studs, bending pushrods, and one of my lobes on the cam is completely gone, with a few others following on an engine that doesn't have 50 miles on it. Is this possible all because of the guideplates?

FLAT OR KICKUP STYLE GUIDEPLATES?
What type of guideplates did are you using?, the flat type of the kick up style guide plate?

I'm unfarmiliar with the terms, but i think kick up style. They have the 2 holes with the 2 slots or "sleeves" that have 2 prongs sticking up.

heat expands metal i.e. lifters wore out cam lobes metal got in the oil and wiped out the bearings

Personally,I think it sounds a little odd. I can't believe all that damage was caused by the guide plates. I'd be looking at spring bind or other issues. Sounds highly unlikely.

I AGREE
I agree with Woodz, I think the problem lies elsewhere. If the guideplates caused this type of problem, you would have to notice them biting into the pushrods when you put the engine together. I think something else was amiss.

I know this sounds unlikely, but i have no where else to go with it. I have already checked for spring bind.
