Default Jesel Makes The Best Shaft MOUNT Rocker

Hey What's Up , I just got my new J2K shaft mount rockers and they are the s**t !!! These things are beautiful , I was really suprised when I found out that they come standard with needle bearing roller tips. If anyone is looking for top of the line rockers these are it . It feels great to see the UPS guy carrying a box and you can see JESEL on the side . I'm happy THANX for listening.

Any clearance issues with valve covers? What year is your car?

The SS are non Adjustable, J2k are adjustable, they wont fit under the stock valvecover without spacers

You definitely need to check clearance with them. They also don't clear the stock covers But, they are nice...

I'll get you guys some pic's as soon as I can get my hands on a digi , mine broke . The quality is impressive . These are adjustable , have the shotpeened body , and as I mentioned standard needle bearing roller tip . I know they won't fit under stock covers but B&B Fabrication (I don't think it's the exhaust manufacturer) has a 1/2" spacer for 99 & up ls1's and I would like to know if anyone has used them with any brand shaft mount . They are around $170 and i think they could be an affordable alternative to fabricated covers and the $250 spacers . I don't think you would even need new wires and most people wouldn't even notice what lies beneath, ha ha . Predator-Z I have an 01 . But as soon as i can find someone with a high res camera I'll get some pic's .

My Jesel SS series clear the stock valvecovers. You have to cut out the PCV baffling in the valve covers to get them to clear.

Yes the B&B spacer will work. 1/2" is what you need. We worked with Jesel when we designed the spacer. SDPC stocks them.

Not with the 1/2" JRP. They fit on our GM engine that they sent us for mock up. Ed is also a WD for our stuff if you need them.

We made the prototypes for GM after the '03 SEMA show per their request. SDPC has had them ever since PRI of '03. Jesel is just 2 miles down the road from our facility, so we worked with them to insure proper clearance and fitment. Our's are self-centering, come with the O-ring groove, and includes the hardware and O-rings.

T&D Machine is as good as Jesel. They are direct competitors in most markets. Which is not to say Jesel isn't good. Actually they are excellent. So is T&D.

That said, both offer sub $1000 non-adjustable 1.7 rockers that clear the stock valve covers with the baffles removed. However Jesel lists their Mohawk with ratios much higher for the LS1. And my info is that they have built more high ratio LS1 systems.

You can't go wrong with either...

I have used both the T&Ds and the Jesel J2ks. There is no comparison in quality. The T&Ds are nice though, that's why I have them on my motor.
