What makes these pushrods stronger than standard ones?

These pushrods use a thicker .165 inch wall thickness and are made from heat-treated chromemoly tubing, which is stronger than typical 1000 Series steels. This construction is designed to handle higher impact loads found in extreme valve train setups.

What is the benefit of the 210 degree radius on the ball ends?

The 210 degree radius on the 5/16 inch ball ends provides additional clearance for the rocker adjuster, especially at high lift. It also makes it easier to install the pushrods, allowing them to be fitted either 'up' or 'down'.

Are these pushrods suitable for a street-driven car?

While these pushrods are built for extreme applications, their strength and stiffness can be beneficial in any engine build where valve train stability is a priority. They offer improved performance over standard pushrods.

Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for performance valvetrain components, and these pushrods are a prime example of their commitment to strength and reliability. If you're building or rebuilding an engine that will see serious use, these pushrods are designed to handle the stress. They are 9.150 inches long with a substantial 7/16 inch diameter and a consistent .165 inch wall thickness, which is significantly thicker and stiffer than common .080 or .125 inch wall designs.

These pushrods are made in the USA from one-piece, heat-treated chromemoly tubing. This material is stronger than typical 1000 Series steels and is built to withstand the extreme impact loads, up to 7500 lbs, experienced in high-performance applications like NASCAR and NHRA racing. The ends feature 5/16 inch ball ends with a 210 degree radius, which helps provide extra clearance for the rocker adjuster at high lift and allows for easier installation. The consistent wall thickness, even in the tapered ends, contributes to their overall stiffness and higher natural frequency, making them a solid choice for demanding valve train setups.
