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

The 7/16-inch diameter offers increased stiffness and a higher natural frequency. This is particularly advantageous in applications where there is sufficient clearance in the intake ports and around the lifters.

What makes this pushrod stronger than common designs?

This pushrod features a .165-inch wall thickness, which is significantly thicker and stronger than typical .080-inch or .125-inch wall designs. It's made from heat-treated chromemoly tubing, a stronger material than standard 1000 Series steels.

Can these pushrods be installed in either direction?

Yes, the 5/16-inch ball ends have a radius that allows them to be installed with the ball end facing either up or down, providing flexibility during installation.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine and need to ensure your valvetrain can handle serious stress, a strong pushrod is crucial. This 9.900-inch long pushrod from COMP Cams is built with technology originally developed for NASCAR and NHRA racing, where pushrods can experience impact loads up to 7,500 lbs. Using a pushrod that can't handle these forces can lead to catastrophic failure, so choosing a well-built part is key.

This pushrod features a 7/16-inch diameter, which offers improved stiffness and a higher natural frequency compared to smaller diameters, especially beneficial if your engine has ample intake port and lifter clearance. Its .165-inch wall thickness is significantly thicker and stronger than common .080-inch or .125-inch designs, even in the tapered ends. It's made in the USA from one-piece, heat-treated chromemoly tubing, a material that's much stronger than typical 1000 Series steels and is designed to better handle extreme valvetrain setups. The 5/16-inch ball ends have a radius that provides extra clearance for the rocker adjuster at high lift, and they allow the pushrod to be installed in either orientation.
