Blank action is not affected in any way by the guides used.

If you decide to use either heavier or lighter guides than what the factory has provided, you will see either an increase or decrease in rod efficiency and things such as reaction and recovery will be affected in one direction or the other. The titanium frame SIC guides should be no heavier than what the factory uses and will not adversly affect the blank in any way.

For the factory type guide sizing, you might consult the Loomis web site. At one point they had the factory spacings and guide sizes listed there.
