What makes the dual taper design beneficial?

The dual taper design means the middle of the pushrod is larger than the ends. This offers the rigidity of a larger 7/16" pushrod while providing the clearance of a 3/8" pushrod, especially around the rocker arm adjuster and offset roller lifters.

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.

Are any special tools needed for installation?

Installation of pushrods typically requires removing valve covers and rocker arms. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific tool requirements and procedures.

Product Details

This is a full set of sixteen COMP Cams Dual Taper Pushrods, each measuring 9.500 inches long. These pushrods are built from a single piece of heat-treated 4130 chromemoly steel right here in the USA, making them a strong choice for your engine build. They feature a unique dual taper design where the middle section is larger in diameter than the ends. This design gives you the benefits of a larger 7/16-inch pushrod for better flow and rigidity, while still offering the clearance you'd expect from a 3/8-inch pushrod, especially around the rocker arm adjuster at peak lift and offset roller lifters.

The .165-inch wall thickness is notably stiffer and stronger than previous .125-inch wall offerings, which helps ensure more accurate valve motion and better durability over time. Both 5/16-inch ball ends are shaped with a 210-degree radius to provide that extra clearance where it counts. If you're rebuilding your top end and need precise valve train control, these well-built pushrods are designed to help you achieve that.
