Default compare rocker arms

I need a set of adjustable shaft mount rockers. What are the differences (quality and fit) of these:

1) Jesel Shaft Mounted Roller Rockers $995
2) Comp Cams Shaft Mounted Roller Rocker Arm $835
3) T&D Shaft Mounted Roller Rocker Arm $835


The max RPM will be 7600 and they need to go under "gutted" stock valve covers (I milled out ALL the insides of the 99+ valve covers) as I don't want to do spacers (or aftermarket covers).

Youll need spacers with all of them.

What time frame are you looking at? We're trying to get the Patriot rockers ready for release pretty soon

The only experience I have first hand is with the T&Ds. They are an excellet rocker and I would highly recommend them. You do have to run a spacer for them to fit, though.

Who makes a valve cover that will clear all of these rockers that is REASONABLY priced?

Who else makes a valve cover that will clear all of these?

A valve cover is a valve cover, unless it is clear and dosen't get blemished over time, why pay more?

I would recommed using valvecover spacers. I used these awhile back and had good luck with them, and they are quite a bit cheaper than most of the aftermarket valvecovers.

TTT with masterdill.
But on same note I run Comps Shaft Rockers with a set of Patriot LS1 stage II and they fit under gutted 01 valve covers.
I have even been called a liar for making this statement but who cares, it works for me. Why? I can maybe speculate that the clearance issue is super minimal and that my patriot's heads have a slightly taller lip, but I never measured and compared. all i know is that they fit on my setup.

hmm...so you were able to get the comps under gutted covers


how are the comps working for you? I was really looking at those but had not been able to find anyone who has used them.
