COMP Cams Pushrod 8.850in Straight 7/16

If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, especially for a performance application, getting the right pushrods is key. These COMP Cams pushrods are built to handle the stress of high-lift cams and aggressive valve train setups. They're designed to be stiffer and stronger than common pushrods, which can make a notable difference in how consistently your valvetrain operates under load.

What sets these apart is the material and construction. They're made from a one-piece, heat-treated chromemoly tubing right here in the USA. This material is significantly stronger than standard 1000 Series steels, and the consistent .165-inch wall thickness, even in the tapered ends, adds considerable rigidity. This stiffness helps prevent flex, which is crucial when dealing with the substantial impact loads found in racing engines, sometimes up to 7500 lbs. The 7/16-inch diameter also contributes to a higher natural frequency, further reducing the chance of valve float or other issues at high RPMs. The 5/16-inch ball ends are radiused, which gives extra clearance for rocker adjusters at high lift and makes installation a bit more forgiving, allowing them to be installed either way.

This set includes 16 pushrods, each measuring 8.850 inches long. They are a solid option for anyone looking to build a more robust and reliable valvetrain, especially if you're pushing the limits with your engine setup.
