What is the primary benefit of the .080" wall thickness in these pushrods?

The .080" wall thickness provides increased strength and durability. This helps prevent the pushrods from bending or failing, especially in high-RPM or performance engine applications where stress is higher.

Are these pushrods compatible with engine guide plates?

Yes, these pushrods are heat-treated for maximum strength, which ensures compatibility with guide plates. This treatment helps them withstand the forces involved when used with guide plates.

What does the black oxide finish and laser etching signify?

The black oxide finish offers some corrosion resistance and a clean look. The laser etching clearly marks the length and part number directly on the pushrod, making it easy to identify the correct part during installation or if you need to reorder.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, the pushrods are a critical component that often gets overlooked. These Hi-Tech pushrods from COMP Cams are built to handle the demands of high-RPM operation and serious performance builds. They play a key role in transferring the motion from your camshaft to your valves, so having a strong and consistent part here is essential for proper engine function.

What sets these apart is their one-piece construction from seamless chromemoly steel tubing, featuring a substantial .080" wall thickness. This design ensures they won't bend or fail under stress. The ends are precision formed for added thickness where it counts, and the entire pushrod is heat-treated for maximum strength, making them compatible with guide plates. They're also OD ground for consistent diameter and finished with a black oxide coating, with the length and part number laser etched for easy identification during installation.

These pushrods are designed to fit a wide range of Ford vehicles, including models like the Bronco, F-150, and E-Series vans from various years. If you're looking for a well-built pushrod set that offers strength and reliability for your engine build, this COMP Cams Hi-Tech set is a solid option.
