Default Jessel vs Harland sharps??

Ok i just ordered a set of Jessel SS rockers to go on my new 408. On my motor right now i have a set of Harlandsharp rockers with low mileage. The reason why i switched is because my new cam is a 253/257 with 642-646 lift and i want to decrease the chance for valve float and to improve durability. Do you think that the Jessels are alot better than the Harland's or did i just waste some cash

I think Jesel's are the better choice, but I would not have gone with the "SS". It is my understanding that these are still non-adjustable; and with the serious camshaft (and I assume serious motor) you are running, I would strongly suggest going to an adjustable valvetrain. Unless Jesel has changed, that requires going to their next level setup which runs $1,000.00-$1,200.00, instead of $699.00 or whatever they get for their SS series. Whatever you do, good luck.

Jesel makes the best rocker systems for the gen3 engine. If you need stable high rpm parts, you buy Jesel.

No comparision one is $400 one is $700 but yes the rockers will perform just the same as the ones on your motor as someone said they are still not adjustable. ANd for the money I would use the T&D rockers great piece.
