What makes these pushrods 'Hi-Tech'?

These pushrods are considered 'Hi-Tech' due to their construction from seamless 0.135-inch wall chromemoly steel, which makes them 37% stiffer than standard pushrods. They also feature a 210-degree tip radius for improved load bearing.

Are these pushrods suitable for all engine builds?

These pushrods are particularly well-suited for applications demanding more strength and stiffness, such as performance builds or engines with higher valve spring pressures. The expanded radius tip is also beneficial for specific rocker arm designs.

How do I identify the correct length pushrod during installation?

Each pushrod is laser etched with its specific length and part number on the surface. This makes it easy to identify the correct pushrod for each valve during the installation process.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, especially for applications that put a lot of stress on the valvetrain, strong pushrods are a critical component. These Hi-Tech pushrods from COMP Cams are built for that kind of demanding work. They're made from a single piece of seamless chromemoly steel with a substantial 0.135-inch wall thickness, making them 37% stiffer than standard 0.080-inch wall pushrods. This added stiffness helps prevent flex under load, leading to more consistent valve operation and improved valvetrain stability.

Beyond their strength, these pushrods feature a 210-degree tip radius, which is ideal for rocker arms that use cup-type adjusters, providing a larger load-bearing surface. They also have the same diameter oil holes as standard pushrods to ensure proper oil flow to the valvetrain. Each pushrod is OD ground for consistency, finished with a black oxide coating, and laser-etched with its length and part number for easy identification during installation. This attention to detail means you get a well-built part that's easy to work with.
