What material are these pushrods made from?

These COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are constructed from a single piece of seamless chromemoly steel. They are also black oxide coated and heat-treated for added durability.

How do these pushrods compare to others with a thinner wall?

With a .105-inch wall thickness, these pushrods are 17% stiffer than COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods that have a .080-inch wall. This increased stiffness helps prevent flexing during engine operation.

What is the purpose of a pushrod in an engine?

Pushrods are a key part of the valvetrain. They transfer the lifting motion from the camshaft lobes to the rocker arms, which in turn open the engine's intake and exhaust valves.

Product Details

If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, getting the valvetrain geometry just right is crucial for performance and longevity. These Hi-Tech pushrods from COMP Cams are designed to be a solid component in that setup. They help transfer the motion from your camshaft to your rocker arms, ensuring your valves open and close correctly.

These pushrods are constructed from a single piece of seamless chromemoly steel, which is known for its strength and durability. They feature a .105-inch wall thickness, making them 17% stiffer than pushrods with a .080-inch wall. This improved stiffness helps prevent flexing under load, which can lead to more consistent valvetrain operation. They also come with a black oxide coating and are heat-treated for added resilience. The 5/16-inch diameter and 8.150-inch length are common dimensions for many performance applications.

This set includes 16 pushrods, which is what most V8 engines require. Having a well-built and stiff pushrod is important for maintaining proper valve lash and ensuring your engine runs smoothly and efficiently.
