New 5.7 & 6.1L Hemi Shaft Rocker System From JESEL Valvetrain Innovation
Chrysler has kept its tradition of Hemi valvetrain domination alive with its new 5.7 and 6.1L shaft rocker systems. Chrysler’s new-age Hemi is finding its way into high performance and racing applications, and the stock valvetrain is totally inadequate for high-lift cams and high valvespring pressures. JESEL shaft rockers, P/N KPS-300153, are a must if you want to change ratio, install larger valve springs or longer valves because the O.E. rocker system is not adjustable.
The new 1.500 pivot rocker bodies are CNC-machined out of tough, shotpeened 7000 series alloy aluminum and fitted with Timken needle bearings that ride on centerless-ground steel rocker shafts. These rockers will easily clear 1.450” diameter springs and are rated for spring pressures exceeding 600-pounds-open. Other standard features include a one piece aluminum base plate, steel-billet stands available in .025” height increments, all necessary mounting hardware and tool steel lash adjusters.
To reduce friction and valve guide wear, standard .250” wide needle nose rollers are installed to prevent roller “skidding” in high pressure situations. JESEL’s exclusive Ball Adjusters can be added that also reduce friction and result in a slightly stronger rocker body. (Special pushrods with cup ends are required).
Rocker ratios are available from 1.60-1.70. Cylinder head machining is necessary to install this shaft rocker system as well as the elimination of the MDS (multi displacement system). The block must be converted to roller lifters with conventional pushrod type oiling. For more information please visit www.jesel.com.

ERTL BLACK ARROW MODEL CAR
Here is one of the latest offerings from Ertl. It's a beautiful 1:18 model of Grumpy Jenkins' "Black Arrow" '65 Plymouth A 990 car. It's absolutely gorgeous. It's got a realistic race Hemi, functional steering, opening doors, and the crazy level of detail that we've come to expect from Ertl. We're talking plug wires, dash board, trunk details, tire valve stems and more. It's the closest that most of us are ever going to come to owning one of these ultra exotic monsters. It's hard to believe that "Da Grump" was actually a Mopar guy for a couple of years. Apparently he was also quite the wrench for Mother Mopar back in the days before he went to the dark side. He was Mr. 1965 "Stock Eliminator" in this car according to the lettering. Can you imagine walking up to the man in 1965 and saying, "Hey dude, this car is so cool that someday someone is going to commission a bunch of Chinese women and children to build insanely accurate 1:18 scale models of it!" He probably would have eaten his cigar!
Cajun Shine Environmentally Safe Cleaner
The product’s unique proprietary formulation contains micronized waxes, polymers, anti-static moisture & dirt repellents, and ultra-violet blockers. The Cajun Shine All Detailing Kit comes with two specially-designed ultra fine micro fiber cloths and one 12 ounce bottle of Cajun Shine All wax. One cloth is used to clean and simultaneously apply the wax, and the second cloth is used to easily buff it to a blazing shine. Only 2 ounces of Cajun Shine All applied with the cloth effortlessly cleans, waxes and polishes a mid-sized car all at once. Because Cajun Shine All eliminates the need to wash and dry a vehicle before waxing, it saves 50-80 gallons of water per car wash. And unlike wax that has to be buffed and polished, Cajun Shine All is applied quickly and continues to bead water for up to six months after just one application. The finish left behind even repels dirt and dust so a vehicle stays cleaner longer. Between applications, the use of a Cajun Clean All cloth dampened with just water quickly cleans a vehicle and restores the shine. It is even safe on leather, dashboards, glass, and even carpet.
In addition to being used on cars, trucks, boats, campers, motorcycles, and lawn tractors, Cajun Shine All has also been found to be very effective in cleaning home items, such as TV’s, computers, stainless steel kitchen appliances, flat-top stoves & ovens, countertops, windows, mirrors, furniture, jewelry and more.
The Cajun Shine All 12 ounce Detailing Kit sells for $17.95 and is available at: www.cajunshineall.com
