Since you're in Oregon I'd consider T&D's just because if you do need parts, they're only a state and a half away from you. Jason Nevada borders Oregon so we are only a state away. What is wrong with you? Did you go to school in Lund Nevada or something? JEEZZZ!

I went to a .130 wall 3/8" pushrods and Harland sharp single shaft rockers and had no more problems. I think the black standard rockers fatigue after a couple hundred runs. Harland sharp are $1200 complete any ratio. Poppaj AA/NSS 65'Coronet "Whompin Wedge" Pop & Son Performance 557" B-1 power John Holt Chassis

I've decided to sell my Jesel for my 440-1's stuff and look into possibly the T&D single shaft or the individual. Do the individual shaft rockers from T&D require milling off the rocker stands?

Not so with the black Koffel's, not even after consulting with Koffel's and doing things according to their instructions. No need to get yourself aggravated, when it can be easilly avoided.

I don't know about Harland Sharp. I have used the individual shaft T&Ds on a few engines with pushrod oiling and never had an issue.

Steve Attached is a picture of the T&D rockers that have the paired shaft system (a short shaft for each cylinder). The rocker stands had to be milled off and the holes to bolt down the adapter added. Indy 440-1 CNC heads, setup by BEST Machine. 8245309-T&D_installed.JPG (255 downloads)

I'd really like to avoid machining off the rocker stands, I think if I was buying new I would have them machined off by Indy and ready to go but at this point I think I'll go with the single shaft deal from T&D. Part of the problem is finding someone up here that knows what is involved with doing the job, I don't want my heads being a guini pig for someone to learn on. Steve Photobucket sucks

I'm sure there are plenty of other shops who can also handle the machine work. I machined my EZ heads for Jesel rocker arms but I had access to a good machine shop. I will say that it is better to order the heads from Indy with the Jesel machining rather than reworking single shaft heads. Doing the work once is much better than drilling and tapping holes that have already been drilled and tapped.

Doing the work once is much better than drilling and tapping holes that have already been drilled and tapped. Bringing parts across the boarder to be machined in the US can be a real PITA for us. I've heard horror stories, mostly about coming back across the boareder from the States. On top of that once they have been machined I would have to use Jesel stuff forever on them, I'd like to keep the versatility of keeping the single shafts. These heads may end up going onto another project we have when I build a 572. I read your book Andy, thank you for writing it, extreamly informative! Steve Photobucket sucks
