Jim, if I may, some additional info.
Took some measurements of my 256 camchain and my SR500 guide. Wanted to see the seating depth of the camchain onto the center-ribbed SR500 guide.
0.057" depth of the rollers, 0.059" rise of the center rib.
Pretty close.
It appears that the camchain rollers AND sideplates will likely be in simultaneous contact with the SR500 guide. This could be a good thing since there's no concentrated loads, they're all distributed.
