What material are these COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods made from?

These pushrods are made from a one-piece, seamless chromemoly tubing. This material is chosen for its strength and durability, especially under the stresses found in performance engines.

Are these pushrods suitable for engines with guide plates?

Yes, these pushrods are heat-treated to ensure compatibility with guide plates. This treatment helps maintain their strength and integrity when used in conjunction with guide plates.

What is the purpose of the black-oxide finish and laser etching?

The black-oxide finish helps protect the pushrods from corrosion. The laser etching on the outside diameter clearly marks the length and part number, making installation and identification much easier.

Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for making a wide range of performance engine components, and their Hi-Tech pushrods are built to handle the demands of high-RPM engines. These pushrods are a critical part of your engine's valve train, and they need to be strong enough to avoid bending or failing under stress. If you're working on a performance build or rebuilding the top end of your engine, these are a solid option to consider.

These Hi-Tech pushrods are made from a single piece of .080-inch wall, seamless chromemoly tubing. This construction gives them a lot of strength and durability, especially in the critical tip areas where they contact the rocker arms and lifters. They're also heat-treated to ensure they work well with guide plates, and they're ground for consistent diameter and finished with a black-oxide coating. Each pushrod has its length and part number laser-etched on it, making them easy to identify during installation.

This set includes 12 pushrods, each measuring 8.300 inches long with a 5/16-inch diameter. They fit a range of vehicles, including many Ford and Mercury models from the 1970s and 1980s, like the Ford Mustang, Mercury Capri, and Ford Pinto. Make sure to check the full fitment list to confirm compatibility with your specific vehicle.
