Slightly OT, but have you had any issues with valves dropping with those Big Chief heads?

Im not knocking jessel's but have you considered switching to a TD rocker?? WE use both on the race cars and the TD's last twice as long as the jessel..jessel uses a sealed bearing which fatigues after hard use..The td's uses the engines oil which in return lasts a whole lot longer..If you dont have a whole lot of oil going to your top end than stick with the jessel's..

You're right about the fatigue. Aluminum has a finite cycle value before they go pop! Might be time to go steel. Bob Madara has gotten me great pricing on T&D stuff and he is an absolute guru on valvetrain stability. Give him a call 585-654-8583

New Steel T&D's seem to be the best. Upgrade to spring oiler in the rocker.
