What makes these pushrods stronger than standard ones?

These pushrods are made from a single piece of heat-treated chromemoly tubing, which is stronger than typical 1000 Series steels. They also feature a thicker .165 inch wall thickness compared to common .080 or .125 inch designs.

What is the advantage of the 7/16 inch diameter?

The larger 7/16 inch diameter provides increased stiffness and a higher natural frequency. This is beneficial in applications with ample intake port and lifter clearance, helping to prevent flexing under extreme loads.

Can these pushrods be installed in either direction?

Yes, the radiused ends on the 5/16 inch ball ends allow for installation in either orientation, providing flexibility during engine assembly.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, especially for high-performance applications, getting the right pushrods is crucial. These COMP Cams pushrods are built to handle the intense forces found in racing engines, where valve train setups can experience impact loads up to 7500 lbs. Standard pushrods might buckle under that kind of stress, leading to catastrophic failure, but these are designed to stand up to it.

What sets these apart is the robust construction. They're made from a single piece of heat-treated chromemoly tubing, which is significantly stronger than common 1000 Series steels. The 7/16" diameter offers extra stiffness and a higher natural frequency, which is a big advantage when you have plenty of intake port and lifter clearance. Even the tapered ends maintain a consistent .165" wall thickness, which is much thicker and more solid than the typical .080" or .125" walls you see on many other pushrods. The 5/16" ball ends are radiused, giving you extra clearance for the rocker adjuster at high lift, and they can be installed either way.

These are made in the USA and incorporate technology originally developed for NASCAR and NHRA race engines, so you know they're built for serious performance.
