What is the purpose of oil-restricting pushrods?

Oil-restricting pushrods help control the amount of oil that flows to the upper valvetrain components like rocker arms and valve springs. This can prevent excessive oil from reaching the combustion chamber, which is beneficial for engine health and emissions.

Are these pushrods compatible with all engine types?

These pushrods are designed for specific engine configurations and vehicle models. It's important to verify the fitment list to ensure they are compatible with your vehicle's make, model, and year.

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 less likely to flex under the stress of engine operation, contributing to more consistent valvetrain geometry.

Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for performance valvetrain components, and these Hi-Tech pushrods are a solid option for anyone rebuilding or upgrading their engine. They are designed to manage oil flow to the top of your valvetrain, which is crucial for proper lubrication and longevity, especially in performance applications.

These are one-piece pushrods, measuring 7.900 inches long with a 5/16-inch diameter and a sturdy .080-inch wall thickness. The key feature here is the oil restriction: they have .050-inch oil holes on the ends. This updated design helps control how much oil reaches the rocker arms and valve springs, preventing excessive oil from reaching the combustion chamber and potentially causing issues like fouled spark plugs or increased emissions. This makes them a good choice for a wide range of vehicles, including many Chevrolet Blazers, C/K series trucks, and Buick Regals from the 1980s and 1990s.

When you're working on the top end of your engine, paying attention to how oil is managed is important. These COMP Cams pushrods offer a well-built solution for controlling that oil flow, contributing to a more stable and efficient valvetrain.
