What makes this pushrod stronger than standard ones?

This pushrod is made from one-piece, heat-treated chromemoly tubing, which is stronger than typical 1000 Series steels. It also features a thicker .165 inch wall thickness, providing greater rigidity and better handling of extreme valve train setups.

Can I install this pushrod in either direction?

Yes, the 5/16 inch ball ends have a 210-degree radius. This design provides additional clearance for the rocker adjuster at high lift and allows the pushrod to be installed with either end facing up or down.

What kind of applications is this pushrod best suited for?

This pushrod is well-suited for applications with ample intake port and lifter clearance, especially those with extreme valve train setups. Its increased stiffness and higher natural frequency are beneficial where pushrods experience significant impact loads.

Product Details

This product is a single COMP Cams pushrod, measuring 7.450 inches long with a 7/16 inch diameter and a .165 inch wall thickness. It features 5/16 inch ball ends with a 210-degree radius, which helps provide extra clearance for rocker adjusters at high lift and allows for installation in either direction. This design is based on technology originally developed for NASCAR and NHRA race engines, where pushrods can experience impact loads up to 7500 lbs.

The 7/16 inch diameter offers improved stiffness and a higher natural frequency compared to smaller diameters, making it a good choice for applications with ample intake port and lifter clearance. It's constructed from one-piece, heat-treated chromemoly tubing made in the USA, which is notably stronger than typical 1000 Series steels and better suited for handling extreme valve train setups. The consistent .165 inch wall thickness, maintained even in the tapered ends, contributes to its overall strength and rigidity, offering a significant advantage over common .080 or .125 inch wall designs.
