What material are these pushrods made from?

These pushrods are made from one-piece, heat-treated 4130 chromemoly steel tubing. This material is known for its strength and durability in engine components.

What is the benefit of the dual taper design?

The dual taper design has a larger middle section for increased rigidity and strength, while the ends are smaller to provide additional clearance for rocker arm adjusters and offset roller lifters at peak lift.

Are these pushrods suitable for high-performance engines?

Yes, the .165" wall thickness and 4130 chromemoly steel construction offer improved stiffness and strength over previous designs, leading to more accurate valve motion and durability, which is beneficial for performance applications.

Product Details

This set includes sixteen 8.150-inch long, dual taper pushrods from COMP Cams. These pushrods are constructed from a single piece of heat-treated 4130 chromemoly steel tubing, making them notably strong and durable for engine builds. They are made in the USA.

The unique dual taper design means the middle of the pushrod is larger in diameter than the ends. This gives you the stiffness and strength benefits of a larger 7/16-inch pushrod while still providing the clearance of a 3/8-inch option, which can be helpful for intake port flow. The ends are tapered to offer additional clearance for rocker arm adjusters at peak lift, and also to clear the top of most offset roller lifters. The .165-inch wall thickness is stiffer and stronger than previous .125-inch wall offerings, contributing to more accurate valve motion and overall durability.

This set is a solid option for engine builds where precise valve train operation and clearance are important. The robust construction from 4130 chromemoly steel ensures they can handle the demands of performance applications.
