Jesel SS Series install?
Jesel SS Series install? What is the proper intallation for the ss series rockers since they are non adjustable? Is it just torque and go like stockers? or do I need to set preload?

For non adjustables, yeap 22lbs/ft.
Since they are shaft, I do not believe you can shim the stands, so i would assume that custom p-rods are the way to go for lifter preload (if the preload is outside the accepted parameters)

I would assume the SS series come with shims just like my T&Ds did. This can help you change preload but the main purpose is to change geometry. Remember, you want the tip of the rocker as close to the center or a little to the intake side of the valve stem as possible. More shims brings the tip to the intake side of the valve stem, less shims brings the tip to the exhaust side of the valve stem.
You cannot use the shims to change preload individually from the intake rocker to the exhaust because you can only shim the entire stand. I had to get the T&D's for this reason because they are adjustable. You could also order custom length pushrods if you don't want to opt for the adjustable T&D's.
