Re: do u need a spacer or tall valve covers for Jesel ShftMntd Rockers ? Really, the only advantage I can see to using an adjustable rocker is to make stock pushrods work on an aftermarket (reduced base circle) cam. Other than that, I am of the firm (personal) belief that the more possible adjustments you have, the more chances there are of screwing something up.
However, that being said, tradtionial SBC's have had adjustable valvetrains since sometime just this side of the dawn of time.
Myself, I am going to run the SS Jesel's with some Schubeck (read: SERIOUSLY reduced plunge) lifters and custom pushrods (on the G5); it'll be a pain in the *** to set up the first time, but after that it'll stay set until I blow it up or take it apart.
