What material are these COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods made from?

These pushrods are constructed from a single piece of seamless chromemoly steel tubing. This material is chosen for its strength and durability, especially under the stresses of a performance engine.

Why are the ends of the pushrods heat-treated?

The ends are precision-formed and heat-treated to add thickness and strength in the critical tip areas. This ensures they can withstand the forces from the camshaft and guide plates without bending or failing, particularly at higher engine speeds.

What is the benefit of the black oxide finish and laser etching?

The black oxide finish helps protect the pushrods from corrosion. The laser etching on the outside diameter clearly marks the length and part number, making it much easier to identify the correct pushrods during installation.

Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance valvetrain components, and their Hi-Tech pushrods are a prime example of that expertise. These pushrods are a critical, yet often overlooked, part of your engine's valvetrain. They need to be strong enough to handle the forces of the camshaft pushing on them, and they must also work in harmony with the rest of your engine's components, especially at higher RPMs. If you're building a performance engine or rebuilding the top end of a vehicle like a 1990 Chevrolet C1500 or a 1992 Chevrolet K2500 Suburban, these pushrods are designed to meet those demands.

These Hi-Tech pushrods are constructed from a single piece of seamless chromemoly steel tubing, featuring a .080" wall thickness for excellent strength and durability. The ends are precision-formed and heat-treated, which adds thickness and strength right where it's needed most, ensuring they can handle the stresses of guide plates and high engine speeds. They are also OD ground for consistency and finished with a black oxide coating. Each pushrod has its length and part number laser etched onto it, making identification straightforward during installation. This well-built design helps prevent bending or failure, even in demanding applications.
