What is the main benefit of these Hi-Tech pushrods?

These pushrods are 17% stiffer than standard .080" wall pushrods due to their .105" wall thickness. This reduced flex helps maintain more consistent valve timing and improved performance, especially in demanding engine builds.

Do these pushrods affect oil flow to the valvetrain?

No, these pushrods feature the same diameter oil holes as standard pushrods. This ensures that you retain full oil flow to the valvetrain components, which is critical for lubrication and cooling.

What type of engine builds are these pushrods best suited for?

These pushrods are an excellent high-strength choice for engine builds that require more durability and stiffness than stock components can provide. They are well-suited for performance applications where reduced valvetrain flex is beneficial.

Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance valvetrain components that help engines run better. If you're building or rebuilding an engine, especially one that needs to handle more stress than stock, you'll want to pay attention to the pushrods. These Hi-Tech pushrods from COMP Cams are a strong choice for that job. They are 5/16 inches in diameter and measure 8.050 inches long, a common size for many performance applications.

What makes these stand out is their construction. They feature a .105 inch wall thickness, which COMP Cams states makes them 17% stiffer than pushrods with a .080 inch wall. This improved stiffness means less flex under load, helping to ensure more consistent valve timing and better performance, especially in high-RPM or high-lift situations. Despite the thicker wall, they retain the same diameter oil holes as standard pushrods, so you don't lose that crucial oil flow to the valvetrain. This set includes 12 pushrods, suitable for many V8 engine configurations.
