COMP Cams Pushrods8.950in Dual Taper 3/8

COMP Cams is well-known for making performance valvetrain components, and these Dual Taper pushrods are a great example of their focus on accuracy and strength. If you're rebuilding or upgrading an engine, getting the pushrods right is key to ensuring your valvetrain operates precisely. These particular pushrods are 8.950 inches long and feature a dual taper design, meaning the middle section is larger than the ends. This design gives you the benefits of a beefier 7/16-inch pushrod for rigidity, while still offering the clearance you'd typically get from a 3/8-inch pushrod, especially around the rocker arm adjuster at peak lift.

What really sets these apart is their construction. They're made in the USA from a single piece of heat-treated 4130 chromemoly steel tubing. This material is known for being strong and durable, and the .165-inch wall thickness is notably stiffer and more robust than previous .125-inch wall offerings. This improved stiffness translates directly into more accurate valve motion, which is crucial for consistent engine performance and longevity. The tapered ends also help clear the top of most offset roller lifters, making them a versatile choice for various performance builds.

This set includes 16 pushrods, which is what most V8 engines require. The 5/16-inch ball ends are designed with a specific radius to provide additional clearance where it's needed most. If you're looking for a well-built pushrod that offers improved accuracy and durability for your engine build, these COMP Cams pushrods are a solid option.
