I went with the Crower rocker/lifter tie bar setup. Alot of the "Big Boys" are running those instead of Jessels. They are hard to find. Get with Bryan at LME for the part numbers.

Even the best break....I broke the Jesel's under light load cruising down the interstate after only 2,000 miles on the clock.

Yeah, there are better things out there. If money isn't a concern, how about these? Thery are steel, have no bearings and the black is NOT black oxide. It's DLC.

They would probably be the single most expensive system on your engine. Under 100gm with adjuster, so knock off about 15 gm for non-adjustable hydraulic use. Your choice of ratio, of course since they are custom for your installation.

The pic is of a LS7 installation with the center rocker the offset intake. Your heads would use straight exhaust style rockers.

These are big-time overkill for your engine, but you asked.

No, they are not Jesel, nor T&D or any other brand you would recognize.
