What material are these pushrods made from?

These pushrods are constructed from one-piece, heat-treated 4130 chromemoly steel tubing. This material is known for its strength and durability in engine applications.

What is the benefit of the dual taper design?

The dual taper design means the middle of the pushrod is larger than the ends. This provides the rigidity of a larger diameter pushrod while offering the clearance of a smaller one, helping to avoid interference with rocker arms or lifters at full lift.

Are these pushrods suitable for high-performance engines?

Yes, the stiffer .165" wall thickness and strong chromemoly steel construction are designed for more accurate valve motion and durability, which are beneficial for performance applications.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, getting the valve train geometry just right is key for accurate valve motion and durability. These Dual Taper pushrods from COMP Cams are designed to help you achieve that precision.

They feature a unique dual taper design where the middle of the pushrod is larger in diameter than the ends. This gives you the benefits of a larger, 7/16" pushrod for stiffness and strength, but with the clearance of a 3/8" pushrod at the ends. This can be especially helpful for clearing rocker arm adjusters at peak lift or providing clearance for offset roller lifters and higher-flowing intake ports. The .165" wall thickness is notably stiffer and stronger than previous .125" wall offerings, contributing to more accurate valve train operation.

These pushrods are made in the USA from a single piece of heat-treated 4130 chromemoly steel tubing, which is a strong material that holds up well under the stresses of engine operation. The 5/16" ball ends are also designed with a radius to provide additional clearance where they meet the rocker arm adjuster.
