What is the purpose of the oil-restricting holes on these pushrods?

The oil-restricting holes at the ends of these pushrods help to limit the amount of oil that flows to the upper valvetrain components, such as the rocker arms. This can be useful for controlling oil consumption and ensuring proper lubrication without over-saturating the valve seals.

Are these pushrods suitable for stock or modified engines?

These COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are a well-built component suitable for both stock rebuilds and modified engines where precise valvetrain geometry is important. Their .080 inch wall thickness offers good strength for various applications.

Do these pushrods come with any hardware or instructions?

This set includes 16 pushrods, which is typically enough for a V8 engine. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding fitment and installation procedures for your vehicle.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, getting the valvetrain geometry just right is crucial. These COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are designed to help you achieve that precision. They measure 6.850 inches long with a 5/16 inch diameter and a sturdy .080 inch wall thickness, making them a solid option for a wide range of Ford and Mercury engines from the late 60s through the mid-90s, including popular models like the Ford Bronco and F-150.

What sets these pushrods apart is their oil-restricting feature. With small .050 inch oil holes at each end, they help manage oil flow to the rocker arms and valve springs. This can be particularly beneficial in preventing excessive oil from reaching the valve seals, which can sometimes lead to issues like oil burning. The one-piece construction also contributes to their strength and reliability under the stresses of engine operation.

When you're putting together a performance engine or restoring a classic, the details matter. These COMP Cams pushrods offer a well-built solution with an updated oil control feature, ensuring your valvetrain components work together smoothly and efficiently.
