What material are these pushrods made from?

These pushrods are constructed from a single piece of seamless chromemoly steel. They are then heat-treated and finished with a black oxide coating for enhanced durability and resistance to corrosion.

How do these pushrods compare to thinner wall options?

These pushrods feature a .135-inch wall thickness, making them 37% stiffer than pushrods with a .080-inch wall. This increased stiffness helps prevent flexing under load, leading to more consistent valve train operation.

What is the purpose of the black oxide coating?

The black oxide coating serves two main purposes: it provides a layer of protection against rust and corrosion, and it can also help with lubrication retention within the valve train system.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your truck's engine, a solid set of pushrods is crucial for proper valve train operation. This set from COMP Cams is built from a single piece of seamless chromemoly steel, featuring a .135-inch wall thickness for added strength. They are heat-treated and black oxide coated for durability and corrosion resistance. These pushrods measure 8.680 inches and 9.650 inches long, with a 3/8-inch diameter and a 210 tip radius, making them 37% stiffer than pushrods with a thinner .080-inch wall.

Using a one-piece design eliminates potential failure points found in multi-piece pushrods, and the thicker wall construction means they can handle more aggressive camshaft profiles and higher spring pressures without flexing. This improved stiffness ensures that the valve train operates more accurately, which can lead to better engine performance and longevity. They are designed to fit right into many truck engine applications where a 3/8-inch diameter pushrod is specified.
