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 in high-performance engine applications.

Why is the heat treatment important for these pushrods?

The heat treatment process is applied to maximize the strength of the pushrods. This ensures they can withstand the stresses of engine operation and are compatible with guide plates, which help keep the pushrods aligned.

What does the laser etching on the pushrod indicate?

The laser etching on the outside diameter of the pushrod clearly marks its length and part number. This makes it much easier to identify the correct pushrod during installation, especially when working with multiple components or different engine builds.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding or modifying your engine's valve train, the pushrods are a critical component that often gets overlooked. These COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are built to handle the demands of high-RPM engines. They are constructed from a single piece of .080-inch wall, seamless chromemoly tubing, which gives them the strength needed to avoid bending or failure under stress.

COMP Cams paid close attention to the ends of these pushrods, forming them for added thickness and strength right where they make contact. The tubing maintains a constant wall thickness and concentricity, and the whole piece is heat-treated to ensure it works well with guide plates. They're also OD ground for consistency and finished with a black oxide coating. Each pushrod has its length and part number laser etched on the outside for easy identification, which is a nice touch when you're working on a complex build.

This particular pushrod is 8.450 inches long, has a 3/8-inch diameter, and a .080-inch wall thickness. It's a solid option for a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the 1970s, like the Ford Gran Torino or Mercury Marquis, and is designed for engines that see a lot of action.
