The Ultimate Endurance Racing Rocker

 

Engineered excellence. That’s what we consider the Jesel Pro Steel Shaft Rockers to be. Engineered to handle the immense cylinder pressures of a 3000hp Pro Mod engine and strong enough to endure a grueling 24 hour road race with miles to spare. Through extensive engineering and FEA analysis, Jesel has designed a steel bodied rocker with less deflection and better moment of inertia than similar aluminum rockers. These advancements allow engine builders the opportunity to develop a more aggressive cam profile by utilizing a more stable valve train package. 

Jesel Pro Steel Rockers are ideal for engines equipped with turbos, superchargers or nitrous where excessive exhaust cylinder pressures surpass the limits of an aluminum rocker. Also, any type of endurance racing such as oval / road racing or marine use would highly benefit from the fatigue resistance of a steel rocker arm. 

CNC machined from a 4340 forging, the heat treated bodies are surface coated to resist rust and corrosion. A needle bearing valve tip roller along with a full compliment needle shaft bearing with thrust washers eliminates friction robbing horsepower and ensures smooth movement throughout the lift cycle. The rockers can be fitted with either our tool steel cup or ball lash adjusters for high lift applications. 

Jesel Pro Steel rockers can be ordered as a complete kit or as replacements for your current aluminum rockers. We can also custom design a set to your specifications utilizing critical details such as spring rates, lobe lifts and pushrod angles through our Custom Shop.

Our Rocker Story

When Chevrolet introduced its small-block V8 in 1955 one of its highly praised features was its lightweight stamped steel rocker system. With little more than a factory Duntov solid lifter cam a 7,000rpm redline was realistic. This economic valvetrain had its limits though. As long as mild seat pressures of around 100 pounds were used with low-lift hydraulic or flat tappet cams, life was good. As aftermarket cam manufacturers started grinding higher lifts, the rocker’s shortcomings began showing up. First, the rockers bottomed-out on the rocker studs because the slots were too short, then as spring pressures increased the studs pulled or broke out of the head bosses. The fixes came both from the aftermarket and GM.
