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 a significant advantage in applications with ample intake port and lifter clearance, helping to prevent flex under extreme conditions.

Do these pushrods come with any hardware?

This product is a full set of 16 pushrods. Any necessary installation hardware, such as seals or grommets, would typically be purchased separately.

Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance valvetrain components, and these pushrods are a great example of their focus on strength and reliability. If you're building an engine that needs to handle serious stress, like in many performance applications, these pushrods are designed to keep up. They are 8.950 inches long and feature a 7/16 inch diameter, which offers more stiffness and a higher natural frequency than smaller diameter pushrods. This is especially beneficial when you have good clearance in your intake ports and lifter area.

What really sets these apart is their construction. They're made from a single piece of heat-treated chromemoly tubing right here in the USA. This material is significantly stronger than typical 1000 Series steels, meaning they can handle the substantial impact loads, sometimes up to 7500 lbs, that race engines experience. The wall thickness is a consistent .165 inches, even in the tapered ends, which is much thicker and stiffer than common .080 or .125 inch walls. The ends have a 5/16 inch ball shape with a radius, which helps provide extra clearance for your rocker adjuster at high lift, and they can be installed either way.
