JESEL CAMSHAFT BELT DRIVE SYSTEMS

SMOOTHER THAN GEARS - MORE RELIABLE THAN CHAINS
In 1982 Dan Jesel invented the Small Block Chevrolet Camshaft Belt Drive with the singular goal to make the most accurate and durable cam timing system available . Since then , our Camshaft Belt Drives have often been copied , but have never been duplicated .
Built with the finest materials available , Jesel Camshaft Belt Drives feature several performance and valvetrain stability enhancements over traditional timing chains and gear drives . The Gates patented High Torq Drive™ reinforced belt spins dry across a steel crank pulley and a hard coated aluminum upper pulley helping to isolate valvetrain crankshaft harmonics . Long lasting Teflon ® coated high vacuum cam and crank seals insure the extreme amount of vacuum found in race engines stays sealed in the crankcase . Need to dial in your power curve ? Cam timing is externally adjustable ± 10 ° in just minutes and available dual thrust cam adapter assemblies can reduce cam thrust to as little as . 001 ”.
With over 65 styles and applications from OEM to aftermarket raised cam blocks , you can be certain that the same Jesel Camshaft Belt Drives used to win countless championships will also provide you with years of reliable race winning service .
