What is the purpose of heat-treating these pushrods?

Heat-treating makes these pushrods compatible with guide plates. Guide plates are essential for keeping the pushrods properly aligned in the cylinder head, especially in performance applications, and the heat treatment ensures the pushrods can withstand this contact.

Are these pushrods suitable for daily driving or only racing?

These Magnum pushrods are designed for both street performance and mild race applications. Their durable construction and heat treatment make them a solid option for engines that see regular use but also benefit from improved valvetrain stability.

What does the .080" wall thickness mean for performance?

The .080 inch wall thickness indicates a stronger, more rigid pushrod compared to standard, thinner-walled options. This improved rigidity helps prevent flexing under load, leading to more consistent valve operation and better performance in higher-stress engine builds.

Product Details

This is a set of COMP Cams Magnum pushrods, part number 7262-16, designed for Pontiac 455 engines. These pushrods are built with a .080 inch wall thickness and measure 9.130 inches long with a 5/16 inch diameter. They are heat-treated to be compatible with guide plates, which is important for keeping the pushrod aligned correctly in the cylinder head. After heat treatment, they receive a black oxide coating for added durability and corrosion resistance.

The Magnum pushrods are a well-built option for street performance and mild race applications. They feature precision-formed, reinforced ends to handle the stresses of a performance engine. COMP Cams laser etches the part number and length onto the surface of each pushrod, making identification straightforward during installation or if you ever need to reorder. This set includes 16 pushrods, enough for a V8 engine.

These pushrods fit a wide range of vehicles, including many Buick, Oldsmobile, and Pontiac models from the 1950s through the early 1980s. Always double-check the fitment guide to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
