Default FS - JESEL Sportsman Rocker Set

SOLD SOLD SOLDMAKE AN OFFER! This is a used Jesel Sportsman Rocker Set #KSS-317070 with a 1.7 ratio that retails for $1200 and I'm selling it for $550 shipped to the lower 48 states.
It fits all LS heads, AFR, Dart, Edelbrock, Trick Flow GenX, and Warhawks - probably others. The set includes the installation instructions and a set of Yella Terra 3/8" thick valve cover gaskets I needed for an installation on some AFR 235s, it may fit stock heads with a stock gasket. The set was used for about a month on an ill fated 408 stroker.

$550 shipped to the lower 48. OR MAKE AN OFFER!! I need these gone.

CNC Motorsports built it with way too much piston clearance and it self destructed the bottom end in 4 sessions on the track. This time I'm going with an LS7.

God damn that sucks. Just had a 383 stroker built and after 15gs and 3 months that's my worst nightmare. Did you have any recourse?

No recourse at all. CNC said it couldn't have been as loose as three professional machinists measured it at. I sent them pictures of the pistons and that didn't seem to change their thinking either. Lesson learned. Start with a bare block and have a competent machinist measure, machine, and assemble a racing engine for you. Ended up sending back a high dollar crank and rods for the new engine because they didn't meet spec. Finally ended up with a set of forged internals that were machined correctly and assembled the new engine. Bare LS7 block, Oliver crank and rods, Arias pistons, BT cam, and AFR 235 VII heads. It made 560 rwhp at 6,400 rpms and 513 torque on a Kansas flat torque curve. I think I'm going to be pretty happy with the final result.
