What is the primary benefit of using chromemoly steel for pushrods?

Chromemoly steel is chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. This means these pushrods can handle the stresses of engine operation, especially at higher RPMs, without bending or failing.

Why are the ends of these pushrods precision formed?

The ends are precision formed to create added thickness and strength in the critical tip areas where they contact the rocker arms and lifters. This helps prevent wear and ensures a more durable connection.

Does this pushrod come individually or as part of a set?

The manufacturer's description indicates this is a single pushrod, part number 7961-1. For valve train work, it's generally recommended to replace all pushrods as a set to ensure consistent length and operation across the engine.

Product Details

If you're working on the valve train of your truck, especially if you're pushing higher RPMs or building a performance engine, the pushrods are a critical component. These COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are built from a single piece of .080" wall seamless chromemoly steel, which gives them the strength needed to avoid bending or burning up at the ends. They are heat-treated to ensure they work well with guide plates, a common setup in many performance applications.

The ends of these pushrods are precision formed to add thickness and strength right where it's needed most, while keeping the wall thickness consistent. This attention to detail helps maintain the pushrod's concentricity. They are also OD ground for consistency and finished with a black oxide coating. Each pushrod has its length and part number laser etched onto it, making identification straightforward when you're putting your engine back together. This particular pushrod measures 9.650" long with a 3/8" diameter and a .080" wall thickness, fitting a wide range of Chevrolet and GMC trucks from the late 80s and early 90s.
