COMP Cams Pushrod 8.650in Straight 7/16

If you're building or rebuilding an engine that sees a lot of stress, like those in NASCAR or NHRA racing, you know how critical the valve train components are. These COMP Cams pushrods are designed to handle the intense loads these engines experience, which can reach up to 7500 lbs. They're made in the USA from one-piece, heat-treated chromemoly tubing, a material that's significantly stronger than standard 1000 Series steels, giving you a more robust and reliable valve train.

What really sets these pushrods apart is their construction. They feature a substantial .165-inch wall thickness, even in the tapered ends, which makes them much stiffer and stronger than common .080 or .125-inch wall designs. This improved stiffness and higher natural frequency, combined with the 7/16-inch diameter, offer a significant advantage, especially in applications with ample intake port and lifter clearance. The 5/16-inch ball ends have a radius that provides extra clearance for the rocker adjuster at high lift, and they can be installed either way, simplifying the process.
