T&D or Jesel

[michael1]

Can anyone tell me the pros and cons on these rockers? I have the Big Duke 18* heads and need rockers.If there are any distributors of these companies please let me know if you can help me with pricing.Thanks

Not sure on the dukes but a buddy just priced them for his BMF heads, TD was 400 cheaper then Jesels.

I've seen both break and seen both work well. I've ran Jesela and had good luck so I stay with them, if I bought a motor with TD i'd keep them and I am sure they'd work fine.

The T&D's i just got have oiling ports for the springs as well as the roller tips. Not sure about the Jesels. Just a thought.

I have the T&D sportsman rockers and like them really well.

T@D is a better deal for the Dukes. I have Jesel on mine and I'd rather have T@Ds. The adjusment is a much better deal (bigger). Seems the T@D holds the lash better. We found that out on my bosses blower motors. Hes got both types.

We use T-D exclusively on all of our engines from 565 bracket engines to 800" nitrous engines. I will have to order them for the 18 degree heads, as we use mainly Brodix 16 degree heads. I can sell them for about 1550.00. T-D will ship in about a week or 2. Call me at 864-578-5622 Brad

I can see why PAR uses T&D over Jessel, i bought a set of T&D pros from a fellow racer here on RJ and they are nice. But before that i tried to get imfo from Jessel as to what offset i needed for the bodix 10 RPSP S/BLK heads that i had, all they did was give me a run around and wouldn't/couldn't tell me which setup i needed for these heads. The RJ person i bought the rockers from sent them to me to check out, it turned out i needed .250 offset which these were. I then called T&D about the setup and how to get started since my heads were already together and i could use their fixture. The tech spend atleast 15 min. explaining how to get there and sent me 2 sets of shims .030 and .060 to make sure that i was able get the right geometry and keep the roller oil holes lined up. I'll definately buy T&D in the future just from their customer service.

I heard the same thing,T&D has great customer service. That is the same thing I heard about Patrick at Pro Systems carbs. I'm all about customer service because I enjoy working on my own stuff when possible. I had back surgery so doing what I can on my own is like mental therapy to me.I need another surgery but I'm trying to put it off as long as I can.I want to thank everybody for the info.

DITTO ON THAT!!!! We do our best to use their produts just for this reason, well plus it's a good product!!

My Jesel Rockers have treated me very well. They hold lash great too.
No experience with T&D.

[michael1]

I'm not putting Jesel down by any means. I'm just saying I called both companies and the customer service at T&D seemed to be better. They were very helpfull and wasn't being very short and just trying to make a sale. I know that both products are 1st class but my engine builder deals with T&D a little bit more. I will be running a Jesel belt drive.

I had 14* big chiefs, sent them to t&d and they made them and installed them for me, I think it was around the same price par quoted you at, about two years ago. I never had trouble with them, and was pushin around 1200hp on a 598... I checked them weekly, but rarely had to adjust them at all.
