What material are these COMP Cams pushrods made from?

These pushrods are constructed from one-piece, heat-treated 4130 chromemoly steel tubing. This material is known for its strength and durability, making them a strong choice for performance engine builds.

What is the benefit of the dual taper design?

The dual taper design means the middle of the pushrod is larger than the ends. This provides the rigidity of a larger diameter pushrod while offering extra clearance, similar to a smaller diameter pushrod, which is useful for clearing components like offset roller lifters and rocker arm adjusters.

Are these pushrods suitable for high-lift camshafts?

Yes, the dual taper design and the .165" wall thickness contribute to more accurate valve motion, even at peak lift. The increased stiffness helps maintain consistent valve train geometry, which is beneficial for high-lift applications.

Product Details

When you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, getting the valve train geometry just right is critical for performance and durability. These COMP Cams Dual Taper Pushrods are designed to help you achieve that precision, especially in applications where clearance can be tight. They measure 8.250 inches long and feature a unique dual taper design.

The middle section of these pushrods is larger in diameter than the ends, giving you the benefits of a beefy 7/16-inch pushrod for rigidity, while still offering the clearance you might need, similar to a 3/8-inch pushrod. This taper is particularly helpful for clearing the top of offset roller lifters and providing extra room around the rocker arm adjuster at peak lift, which helps ensure more accurate valve motion. They're made in the USA from a single piece of heat-treated 4130 chromemoly steel tubing, which is notably stronger than many other pushrods out there, and the .165-inch wall thickness is stiffer than previous offerings, contributing to better valve train accuracy and longer life.

This set includes all 16 pushrods needed for a full engine build. The solid construction and thoughtful design make these a solid option for anyone looking to optimize their engine's valve train.
