What is the primary benefit of using chromemoly steel for these pushrods?

Chromemoly steel is chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio. This means the pushrods can withstand the high pressures and stresses of an engine operating at higher RPMs without bending or failing, while still being relatively lightweight.

Are these pushrods compatible with engine guide plates?

Yes, these pushrods are heat-treated specifically to ensure compatibility with guide plates. This treatment enhances their durability and ability to work effectively in valve train setups that utilize guide plates.

What does the '.05' in the product name refer to?

The '.05' in the product name refers to the pushrod length being 7.850 inches, which is .050 inches longer than a standard length. This slight increase in length can be important for certain engine builds to ensure proper valve train geometry.

Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance engine components, and their Hi-Tech pushrods are a solid option for anyone building or rebuilding an engine that will see higher RPMs. These aren't just simple rods; they're a critical link in your valve train, and COMP Cams builds them to handle the stress. They are constructed from a single piece of seamless chromemoly steel tubing with a .080-inch wall, which gives them the strength needed to avoid bending or failing under pressure.

The ends of these pushrods are precision formed to add thickness and durability right where it counts, while keeping the wall thickness consistent. They're also heat-treated to ensure they work well with guide plates, a common setup in many performance engines. COMP Cams also grinds the OD for consistency and finishes them with a black oxide coating. Each pushrod is laser-etched with its length and part number, making identification straightforward during installation. These pushrods fit a wide range of vehicles, from classic Chevrolet Bel Airs and C10 Pickups to Buick Regals and Chevrolet Blazers.
