    I like the T&D's. Never broke any, never have trouble installing them. Never had to rebuild them either !

    9 engines worth !

    Had one set of Jesels, didn't fit worth a crap, would never own that brand again !

    Also have really good customer service with T&D, piss poor service with Jesel ??????

    Another vote for T&Ds,

    I had a 523 BBC with conventional heads (Dart 320s) and ran 8800 rpms 350 passes no problems whatsoever, roller tips and pivots still tight.

    I did have a set of the Jessel on a a BBC 509 thurned it 8500 with a Big M block. I never had a problem with them but it was a pain in the a$$ to torque or do anything with the heads.

    Rockers

    And another vote for T&D. Three seasons old and all still good. Whatever brand you end up using, make sure that the bolts that hold the stands to the heads are long enough as whats in some kits are to short.

    Cheers Jim

    excellent suggestion about the bolts. I got a set of jesel rockers and all of the exhaust bolts were to short. Make sure you use the longest bolt possible to save yourself certain headaces

    I have had a set of Jessel for 3 years and I havn't had any major problems. I am not thrilled with them but they haven't broke anything yet. I run the Pro Topline 360X head with them and had to grind a little on the stand hold downs.
