Jomar rocker girdles
« on: January 27, 2013, 02:03:27 PM »
Does anybody have any experience with Jomar?

http://jomarperformance.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=50&osCsid=bfad3b23123c212714a3ab5244bd61d2

I like the looks of the rocker girdles. Kinda pricey but maybe good quality?

I have never seen a "real" set. I have seen that cartoon rendering though.
The main issue would be how high they are.
You would need a pretty tall cover to clear the top bracket.
There are other "real" rocker sets that have a lower profile and around the same price, and excellent durability.
and did I mention "real".  ::)

Lol good point Howie. Yea I noticed the CAD rendering too, seems suspicious. Was just wondering. I had never seen the girdles before. I found posts that date back to 2003 that talk about the girdles and rockers on the other site, but not much mentioned about how they work.

Maybe the sale price indicates they are hungry to make their first set. Yes stand failure is an issue on stock parts but what about the weak inadequate stock rockers. Seems like a band aid on a knife wound to me just my opinion.

If you do, let us know how it works out, and post some pictures of it when you get it.  It is a very interesting setup, that's for sure...

I wrote to the to ask why they had so little info on them, here was the reply:

Sorry - it is still a work in progress.  We have some prototypes running
successfully, but it was tough to produce.  We are so busy with our current
product line that it may never be completed.

I have a Jomar stud girdle on my 385 and it is a very good product. I can go through a full season and the adjustment doesn't change on the valves virtually at all. JMHO they make good products.

What application are you interested in?  It was the only way I could get my 351W to live above 7200rpm back in the day.  The studs would break at high rpm.  The stud girdle stopped the breakage, and the adjustments stayed much longer with their stud girdle.  Now most studs for sbfs are 7/16" instead of 3/8", but I still use a girdle for high rpms.  Joe-JDC
