BTW do you have to run longer spark plug wires with a 1/2" spacer.

I saw the new cover spacers in the new Summit catalog I recieved in the mail and it does say $109 each . It appears the B&B is the best bargain , I just want to be sure 1/2" spacers will clear J2K's with not to much of an issue . EDC said they clear without issue in another thread .

I believe you will need longer plug wires for 1" but not sure about 1/2".

You don't need longer plug wires with the B&B's. They are available at Scoggin or Flow Tech.

I thought the spacers were cool too. I was going to say something, but I didn't want to get jumped by the admins for a non-sponsor link or something.

J2K's (jesel 2000) are Jesel's top of the line rocker system . Mine have needle bearing roller tip and a shotpeened rocker body . If you want to go solid roller you need quality parts . DO NOT SKIMP ON YOUR VALVRTRAIN !! This is a big mistake people make and cry later about missing power or worse broken parts . EDC is Ed Curtis , a member of this board who really knows about making power .

Jesel is 2 miles down the road from us and Danny and Wayne are good friends of my bosses. We did our Research and Development, not to be confused with Ripoff and Duplicate, with them so we would know our spacers would work. Our 1/2" sold by Scoggin, Jeg's, Flowtech, Racetech, Rapid, APE, will work.

You can use stock wires with spacers up to 1", BUT with the 1" tall one, you cant use the STB as the oil cap hits it. The wires are tight but will work. I think I have pics of some 1" ones installed.
