T&D Machine Products
Just an FYI for those that are considering using their shaft rockers. Great product and great customer service after the sale. I've been using their shaft rockers since 2012 and along the way I've sent rockers back to be rebuilt usually due to a failing trunnion bearing. Always quick turnaround time and reasonable price. The big brown truck just dropped off 4 rockers I sent about 1 month ago and the bill with shipping was $186.30

That’s my experience too. You can also send them a set and they’ll inspect them for free and let you know what they need.

Running Jesel now, but changing over to T&D when it's time for new rockers. T&D quoted me a price for steel rockers, custom stands, for not much more money than standard aluminum Jesel's. Zero issues with my Jesel, but they don't have steel...

I have T&D shaft rockers on one of my SBCs. I decided I wanted 4 spare rocker assemblies. Well, I ordered them & hauled them in the trailer for about a year. During the off season, I decided to check them on the motor. They had sent the wrong assemblies. I called them & explained, they sent me right ones. Not one hassle in the process. I've never needed to use the spares, but I did make sure they were the right ones when I got them.

No doubt! I've ran them since they came blue in color. Got T&D for both our new SR20 power plants going into our new dragsters.

You can call anytime and they are that helpful. Sheldon usually answers the phone. Tell him we sent ya! Great company to deal with.

I have no regrets about my T&D shaft rockers. When I bought them, I discovered that the intake stands were too short. There was no way I could shim them up or do any other sort of adjustment to get proper geometry. Sent the stands back and T&D shipped out taller stands for the cost of shipping.

I ran Crane shaft rockers and Jessel Pro. Both had great support Support, but T&D are so reliable I never had to call them.

Ive run them for a long time but with my current setup I did run into issues and ended up switching to Manton. So far zero failures for the laST 3 years....

JR,

I know you missed my question but I’m curious did you use the FuelTech ignition with your system?

I still have a msd8+ for spark but all controls are in the efi. No grid anymore. I couldn’t afford there ignition, but will likely go to it at some point... especially if we don’t get to race anytime soon

I am! Still good too! I've kept a close eye on them, so it's gonna be a while before they are ready to get replaced!

Have one set of T&D rockers that went back after 350 runs to be checked/repaired by T&D. Don't have the paperwork here at home, but pretty sure the bill was around $200, so they must have still been AOK. Very quick turnaround and a pleasure to deal with.
