What material are these pushrods made from?

These COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are constructed from a single piece of seamless chromemoly steel tubing. This material is chosen for its strength and durability, especially under high-RPM conditions.

Why is the wall thickness important for a pushrod?

A thicker wall, like the .080" on these pushrods, helps prevent bending or failure, particularly in high-performance or race engines that operate at higher RPMs. It ensures the pushrod can withstand the forces within the valve train.

What does the '+.050' in the part name refer to?

The '+.050' indicates that this pushrod is 0.050 inches longer than a standard length pushrod for its application. This slight length adjustment can be important for fine-tuning valve train geometry.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the valve train, the pushrod is a critical piece that often gets overlooked. These COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are built from a single piece of seamless chromemoly steel tubing with a .080" wall thickness, giving them the strength needed to handle high RPMs and the demands of race engines without bending or failing. The ends are precision formed for added thickness and strength right where it matters most, while the overall wall thickness stays consistent. They're also heat-treated to ensure they work well with guide plates.

These pushrods are OD ground for consistency and finished with a black oxide coating. Each one has its length and part number laser etched onto it, making identification straightforward during installation. This particular pushrod measures 7.850 inches long, has a 5/16 inch diameter, and features the .050 inch length offset.

This part fits a wide range of vehicles, including many Chevrolet Bel Air, Buick Century, and GMC C1500 models. Always check the full fitment guide to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
