I looked on summits site for our BB belt drives but could only find Jesels, who else besides them makes them help
I'm putting together a pump gas street and strip motor roller cam motor for myself and I'm having problems with trying to use Cloyes (SP?) brand timing sets with the nine keyway crank gears and better timing chains puke runaway
Any one else on here having the same problems with the cam bolts hitting the stock timing covers ?

I think Jessel is the only current manufacture of belt drives for a BB - on the cam bolts are you using the ARP 12 points? - I have used header bolts in the past and touched the face up with a belt sander. Only time I had an issue was when using the cam button retainer plate. With the cloyes it seams the gear is thicker

Summit sells the Jesel set up for $1325 shruggy
I agree on that price not being competive down
I wonder if there is a whole sell warehouse (AKA W.D.) that sells their products at less than "List price' ?
Please post anything you know about this company and their products help

The guy that used to do my motors at Opel Engineering told me that a customer brought one in for his motor. He said by the time he got done modifying everything to get it to fit he could've went and bought the Jessel and been ahead.

My price on the Jesel drive used to be around $800 but maybe the price has gone up. I haven't bought anything from them in a bit so I'm not sure if I'm still set up as a WD or not. Back when I was building more engines I was set up with a WD discount for a lot of parts. That really helped keep the prices down.

If the Australian piece has a belt tensioner, that would
be worth it over the Jesel, in my opinion.

I have the Jesel on my Hemi and it has a idler which I guess would be called a tensioner. I think I got mine from Marsh.


it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Raised cam Jesel Belt Drives have a tensioner.


What about Pro Gear timing chains?

I use the stamp steel Milodon front cover and it don't hit.

Actually
Mike Fielder who runs Australian Muscle Parts called me this week. He made the ones we sold a few years back. He has made numerous changes like making the cover billet instead of a casting. They should be available pretty soon ( a few weeks) and he said he would send pics and pricing which I can post when I get them.

Guys can get you a better deal than $1,300. I paid $1,100 for mine. If this is strictly because it's expensive, I wouldn't skimp on it. My .02

I ran an old Australian Muscle Parts belt drive. I felt like I was the R&D guy for him. I finally quit emailing and just made it work. Would like to see his come back just for some competition. As for the idler it is on ALL the raised cam BB Mopar Jesel. If you are patient they can be located from time to time, I will warn you if you buy a used one and it needs a belt or seals may as well buy new. They are quite proud of their stuff

That link is to an Australian website. It could be $1500 Australian Dollars which is less than $1100 US dollars.


In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

The raised cam deal has the idler, mostly I suspect because there isn't a correct length belt that lets them use the same upper and lower as the standard. The funny thing is, the belts say DO NOT BACK BEND LOL..Which is exactly what an idler does.

Anyone remember the RINO jesel belt..? The belt to beat all belts. Put one on, cranked up the motor, and at idle SNAP!!!CLATTER CLATTER SCREECH HALT.

Those babies got may racers sideways with jesel.

Ive run my Australian one for over 10 years now. Only had to replace the cam seal once & a new belt for peace of mind. Id buy another no problem.
