I am using the stock computer on my almost done 427 C5-R 427. Today I was told the Jesel Rockers made so much noise the knock sensor would not work right & would pull timing out of the motor. The ET 265cc Heads require offset rockers. Anyone had problems with Jesel & their knock sensor?

I don't know if this will help but I've got Jesel Sportsman rockers. They are quieter than stock. But this is a baby cam and hydraulic. Just some input for you.

I've had Jesel 1.8's for 4 years and they make no more noise that stock.

I have used Jesels in a few engines, no issues here.

If the valve-train geometry is correct they will not make to much noise.

Thank you all very much for your input. I've used Jesel for 20 years I guess with no problems. This is my 1st.( built by me) EFI modified engine so I am probably spooked about everything. After 40 yrs. of building mostly BBC the LSX family of engines is new to me. I am learning though.
