Jesel J2K Owners - Look Inside
Jesel J2K Owners - Look Inside Did you install shims under the rocker mounts, that long peice you bolt your rockers to? If so or if not.. What is the lift on your cam. Also if you know your installed spring height let me know.
I have never had to shim under the stand on a gen 3. I did one time need to machine the head to lower the stand. Your kit should have a tool for checking stand height. It would be a 5/8 piece of alum dowel and a strange looking alum arm with a hole in it. Just follow the instructions on setting up the stand height, its different on each head based on valve length. The lift on the cam has very little to do with the base stand height. If you use jesel instructions and your cam lift is between .600-.800 it will get you very close on geometry.

Thats the weird thing. I've broken 3 rocker arms now in the exact same spot (along the cup on the adjuster). 2 broke while the car was running. 1 Broke while we were putting them back on. MTI says someone else touched it thats why they broke, but the first one that broke happened 4 days after I left their shop and the valve covers had never been off the car. The previous owner never had any problems, but he also did not beat on the car as hard.
Make sure your not going into coilbind at full lift. Has it broke intake and ex rockers? How old are the valvesprings? What rpm do you turn it?

What valve springs are you running? What is the lift at the valve? Are they fixed or adjustable rockers?
It is either hitting coilbind or valvesprings are to soft for your application. I have ran those rockers in the 24 hour daytona race without problems.
