What makes these pushrods stronger than standard ones?

These pushrods are made from heat-treated, one-piece chromemoly tubing, which is stronger than typical 1000 Series steels. They also feature a consistent .165-inch wall thickness, making them stiffer and stronger than common .080 or .125-inch wall designs.

Can these pushrods be installed in either direction?

Yes, the radiused ends on these pushrods allow them to be installed either 'up' or 'down'. This feature also provides additional clearance for the rocker adjuster at high lift.

What kind of applications are these pushrods best suited for?

These pushrods incorporate technology developed for NASCAR and NHRA race engines and are designed to handle extreme valve train setups and significant impact loads. They are a good choice for applications with ample intake port and lifter clearance where improved stiffness is beneficial.

Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance engine components, and these pushrods are a great example of their focus on strength and durability. If you're building or rebuilding an engine that sees a lot of action, especially with high-lift camshafts, these pushrods are designed to handle the stress. They're built to withstand the kind of impact loads experienced in NASCAR and NHRA racing, so you know they're solid for demanding street applications too.

What sets these apart is the material and construction. They're made from one-piece, heat-treated chromemoly tubing right here in the USA. This material is significantly stronger than typical 1000 Series steels, and the consistent .165-inch wall thickness, even in the tapered ends, makes them much stiffer and stronger than common .080 or .125-inch wall designs. The 7/16-inch diameter also adds stiffness and a higher natural frequency, which is a big advantage if your engine has good intake port and lifter clearance. The 5/16-inch ball ends have a radius that helps provide extra clearance for your rocker adjuster at high lift, and they can be installed either way.

This set includes 16 pushrods, each measuring 7.950 inches long. They're a well-built option for anyone looking to improve their valve train's reliability under stress.
