Default Jessel shaft mounted rockers: Opinions?

Who else uses Jessel shaft mounts on their heads? What do you think of them vs regular rocker stud RR setups? Buddy of mine in New Jersey has them on his Callies 396 w/AFR-210s, he gained a solid 20+rwhp on the dyno to net just over 500. Our builds are near identical, exception of headers & LTCC and last week I optioned LME to do a full race port w/Ferrera valves on my 210s, oh yeah his stroker was hydraulic vs solid on mine. The porting set me back another week (May 15th), but they say patience is a virtue, find out soon enough ...

I have been debating on switching over to shaft mounts too. I really like DRE shaft mounts for all the features. Expect about 1100 for the set.

Thumbs up

BRETTINATOR,

Shaft mounts are worth it on many levels (valvetrain stability and performance and reliability) so I think you made the right choice.

I have the off-set Jesels and I love them! Easy to set and very stable! Quality piece!

Just switched from Crower 1.6 RR's on my AFR 220's to T&D 1.65 Shaft mounts. Will hopefully have some dyno #'s soon.
