What material are these pushrods made from?

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

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 clearance similar to a smaller one, especially around rocker arms and lifters.

Are these pushrods suitable for high-performance engines?

Yes, the stiffer .165" wall thickness and strong chromemoly construction are designed for more accurate valve motion and durability, making them a good choice for performance applications.

Product Details

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance valvetrain components. These Dual Taper pushrods are a great example of their focus on improving engine performance and durability. They are designed to give you the benefits of a larger 7/16" pushrod, like increased stiffness and more accurate valve motion, while still offering the clearance you might need from a 3/8" pushrod. This is achieved through a unique dual taper design where the middle of the pushrod is larger than the ends.

The .165" wall thickness is notably stiffer and stronger than older .125" wall designs, which helps ensure more precise valve timing and better overall durability for your engine. They are constructed from one-piece, heat-treated 4130 chromemoly steel tubing right here in the USA, making them a strong choice for demanding applications. The 5/16" ball ends are also specially radiused to provide extra clearance for your rocker arm adjuster at peak lift, which is especially helpful for offset roller lifters.

This set includes 16 pushrods, each measuring 8.550" long. If you're rebuilding or modifying an engine and need reliable pushrods that offer improved accuracy and strength, these COMP Cams Dual Taper pushrods are a solid option.
