Along the way, Dan introduced the performance engine world to innovations such as Shaft Rocker Arms, Camshaft Belt Drives, Keyway Roller Lifters and his latest and most innovative project, a designed engine from the ground up named the \u201cEqual Eight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As per Dan\u2019s wishes, Jesel Valvetrain Innovation will continue to operate as a privately held company, run to the highest of standards.
