About this part

Product Details

Starting with a .135-inch wall thickness, these COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are built from a single piece of seamless chromemoly steel. This construction method, combined with a black oxide coating and heat treatment, results in a pushrod that is notably stiffer than those with thinner walls, specifically 37% stiffer than .080-inch wall versions. The 3/8-inch diameter and 8.900-inch length are common dimensions for many performance engine builds, and the 210 tip radius ensures proper contact with valve train components.

When you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, the pushrods are a critical link between the camshaft and the valves. Using a well-built, stiff pushrod helps maintain accurate valve timing and lift, especially as engine speeds increase or when using more aggressive camshaft profiles. The one-piece design eliminates potential failure points found in two-piece pushrods, and the chromemoly steel offers a solid foundation for durability under stress. These are designed to fit right into many popular V8 engine applications where precise valve train geometry is key.
