What material are these pushrods made from?

These COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are constructed from one piece of seamless .080" wall chromemoly steel. They are then heat-treated for maximum strength and finished with a black oxide coating.

Why is the heat treatment important for these pushrods?

The heat treatment ensures maximum strength, making these pushrods compatible with guide plates. This is crucial for engines operating at high RPMs where valve train stress is significant.

What does the laser etching on the pushrods signify?

The laser etching on the outside diameter (OD) of the pushrods indicates the specific length and part number. This makes it easier to identify the correct pushrods during installation or if you need to reorder.

Product Details

Starting with a one-piece design from seamless .080" wall chromemoly tubing, these COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are built for serious performance. They’re heat-treated to handle the stresses of guide plates and high RPMs, ensuring they won’t bend or burn up at the ends. The ends are precision formed for added thickness where it counts, while maintaining consistent wall thickness throughout. This attention to detail means you get a strong, durable part that’s crucial for the valve train's performance. They are OD ground for consistency and finished with a black oxide coating, with the length and part number laser etched for easy identification. These pushrods fit a wide range of Ford and Mercury vehicles from the early 70s through the early 80s, including models like the Ford F-150, Mercury Cougar, and Ford Torino.

When you’re building an engine that needs to perform at high RPMs, every component in the valve train matters. These Hi-Tech pushrods are designed to meet those demands, offering a solid option for race engines or performance builds. The .080" wall thickness provides the necessary strength, while the heat treatment and precision-formed ends add durability. This is a well-built component that’s ready to handle the rigors of demanding engine operation.
