COMP Cams Pushrods8.800in Dual Taper 3/8

If you're rebuilding the top end of your engine, getting the valve train geometry just right is critical for performance and longevity. These Dual Taper pushrods from COMP Cams are designed to help you achieve that precision. They measure 8.800 inches long and feature a unique dual taper design where the middle section is larger in diameter than the ends. This design offers the clearance benefits of a 3/8-inch pushrod while still providing the strength and flow characteristics of a 7/16-inch pushrod, especially useful for higher-flowing intake ports.

What really sets these apart is their construction and taper. They're made in the USA from a single piece of heat-treated 4130 chromemoly steel tubing, which makes them notably stiffer and stronger than many other pushrods on the market, especially compared to older .125-inch wall designs. The .165-inch wall thickness contributes to improved stiffness, leading to more accurate valve motion and better durability over time. The ends are also tapered to provide extra clearance for rocker arm adjusters at peak lift, which is a common concern when dealing with offset roller lifters.

This set includes 16 pushrods, which is what most V8 engines require. The solid construction and thoughtful design mean you're getting a well-built component that contributes to a more precise and reliable valve train operation.
