What is the purpose of oil restricting pushrods?

Oil restricting pushrods have smaller oil holes at the ends. This limits the amount of oil that travels to the valvetrain's upper components, helping to control oil pressure and consumption in certain engine builds.

What material are these pushrods made from?

These pushrods are made from one-piece 4130 chromemoly steel. They are heat-treated for added durability and have a 60 Rockwell hardness.

Are these pushrods sold individually or as a set?

The product information indicates this is a single pushrod, clearly labeled with its specific length and diameter. For a complete engine build, you would typically need a full set.

Product Details

If you're working on the valvetrain of a wide range of vehicles, these COMP Cams Hi-Tech oil restricting pushrods are a solid option. They're designed to manage oil flow to the top end, which is crucial for proper lubrication and longevity, especially in performance applications or when rebuilding an engine. This specific pushrod measures 7.800 inches long, has a 5/16-inch diameter, and features a robust .080-inch wall thickness.

What sets these apart is the oil restricting feature. Instead of standard oil holes, these have smaller 0.050-inch holes at the ends. This helps to limit the amount of oil that travels up to the rocker arms and valve springs, which can be beneficial for controlling oil pressure and preventing excessive oil consumption in some setups. They're made from one-piece 4130 chromemoly steel, heat-treated for durability, and have a 60 Rockwell hardness, meaning they're built to handle the stresses of engine operation. Each pushrod is clearly marked with its length and diameter, making installation easier.

These pushrods fit a broad spectrum of vehicles, including many Chevrolet C/K series trucks, Camaro, and Caprice models from the 80s and 90s. Having the correct length and oil control is key to a well-functioning valvetrain, and these COMP Cams pushrods offer a well-built solution.
