What material are these pushrods made from?

These COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are constructed from one piece of seamless chromemoly steel tubing. They are then heat-treated for maximum strength and finished with a black oxide coating.

Why is the .080" wall thickness important?

The .080" wall thickness contributes to the overall strength and durability of the pushrod. This helps prevent bending or failure, especially in high-RPM engine applications where components are under significant stress.

Are these pushrods sold individually or as a set?

The product information indicates this is for a single pushrod, part number 7970-1. If you need a full set for your engine, you will need to order the appropriate quantity.

Product Details

Starting with a .080" wall thickness from seamless chromemoly tubing, these COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are built for serious performance. They’re designed to handle the demands of high-RPM engines where valve train components are under constant stress. The one-piece construction and heat-treated ends add strength in critical areas, ensuring they won't bend or burn up, even when used with guide plates.

The precision-formed ends maintain constant wall thickness and concentricity, which is important for consistent valve train operation. COMP Cams also OD grinds them for consistency and finishes them with a black oxide coating. Each pushrod is laser etched with its length and part number, making identification straightforward during installation. This particular pushrod measures 7.750" long and has a 5/16" diameter.

These pushrods fit a wide range of vehicles, including many Chevrolet Bel Airs, C10 Pickups, and Buick Centuries from various model years. Always check the full fitment guide to confirm compatibility with your specific application.
