What is the purpose of oil-restricting pushrods?

Oil-restricting pushrods have smaller oil holes at the ends. This limits the amount of oil that travels to the upper valvetrain components, which can help prevent over-oiling and maintain consistent performance in certain engine builds.

What does the .080" wall thickness signify?

The .080-inch wall thickness indicates the strength and rigidity of the pushrod. A thicker wall generally means the pushrod is more resistant to bending or flexing under the stress of engine operation.

Are these pushrods suitable for all engine builds?

These pushrods are specifically designed for certain GM LS-based engines and feature an oil-restricting design. It's important to verify that this specific length and feature set are appropriate for your engine's camshaft and valvetrain configuration.

Product Details

This set includes 16 COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods, each measuring 7.450 inches long with a 5/16-inch diameter and a .080-inch wall thickness. These pushrods are designed to fit a range of vehicles, including models like the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Camaro, and Pontiac Firebird. They play a crucial role in your engine's valvetrain, transferring the motion from the camshaft to the rocker arms.

What sets these pushrods apart is their oil-restricting design. They feature small, .050-inch oil holes on each end, which helps to limit the amount of oil that flows to the upper part of the valvetrain. This can be beneficial for engines where precise oil control is important, helping to prevent over-oiling and maintain consistent performance. The one-piece construction and .080-inch wall thickness contribute to their well-built nature, ensuring they can handle the demands of regular engine operation.

When you're rebuilding or working on the top end of your engine, having reliable pushrods is essential. This set from COMP Cams offers a solid option for many GM LS-based engines, providing the specific length and oil-restricting features that can make a difference in how your valvetrain performs.
