Proud to be a part of this great project! 👏

A big thank you to our friends at Baldwin Racing Engines for including a JESEL Shaft Rocker System on the AERA Engine Builders Association LS 427 being raffled at PRI.

Even better, this project helps support grants and scholarships for the next generation of the automotive machining industry.

Good luck to everyone who gets a ticket, and thanks to Baldwin Racing Engines and AERA for putting together such a worthwhile project! 🏁

We always appreciate knowledgeable engine builders like Matt taking the time to share real-world experience and good technical information.

Great tech tip from our friends at Kill Devil Diesel! 👏
In the video, Jared walks through the ICEO method for setting valve lash, while Kevin, Kill Devil Diesel’s head engine builder, demonstrates the process using JESEL Rockers.
We always enjoy seeing JESEL products being put to work, especially when knowledgeable engine builders take the time to share helpful tech with the performance community.

Thanks for featuring JESEL, guys! 💪
