What material are these pushrods made from?

These pushrods are made in the USA from one-piece, heat-treated chromemoly tubing. This material is stronger than typical 1000 Series steels and is designed to handle extreme valve train setups.

What is the advantage of the 7/16" diameter and .165" wall thickness?

The larger 7/16 inch diameter and thicker .165 inch wall provide increased stiffness and a higher natural frequency. This makes them stronger and better suited for demanding valve train applications compared to common .080 or .125 inch wall designs.

Can these pushrods be installed in either direction?

Yes, the pushrods have a radius on the 5/16" ball ends. This design provides additional clearance for the rocker adjuster at high lift and allows the pushrods to be installed either 'up' or 'down'.

Product Details

This set includes sixteen (16) COMP Cams pushrods, each measuring 7.450 inches long with a 7/16 inch diameter and a .165 inch wall thickness. These pushrods are made in the USA from one-piece, heat-treated chromemoly tubing, which is a stronger material than typical 1000 Series steels and is designed to handle demanding valve train setups.

The 7/16 inch diameter offers increased stiffness and a higher natural frequency, which is beneficial in applications with ample intake port and lifter clearance. Technology originally developed for NASCAR and NHRA race engines is incorporated here, as these pushrods can experience impact loads up to 7500 lbs. The ends feature 5/16 inch ball ends with a radius, providing extra clearance for the rocker adjuster at high lift and allowing for installation in either orientation.

The consistent .165 inch wall thickness, even in the tapered ends, makes these pushrods stiffer and stronger than common .080 or .125 inch wall designs. This well-built construction helps prevent catastrophic failure in extreme valve train applications.
