Product Details

You're getting a set of COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods, part number 7970-16. These are a critical part of your engine's valve train, and these are built to handle some serious work. They're designed for a wide range of vehicles, including many Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC models from the 1950s through the 1990s.

These pushrods are constructed from a single piece of .080-inch wall, seamless chromemoly steel tubing. This one-piece design, along with heat-treating, ensures they're strong enough to avoid bending or failure, even in high-RPM applications. The ends are precision formed for added thickness where it counts, and they're OD ground for consistent diameter. COMP Cams also applies a black oxide finish and laser etches the length and part number right onto the pushrod, making identification straightforward during installation.

If you're rebuilding or modifying an engine that sees higher RPMs or uses guide plates, these pushrods are a solid choice. They're made to match the demands of performance engines, offering the strength and consistency needed for reliable valve train operation.
