What is the purpose of pushrods in an engine?

Pushrods are part of the valvetrain system. They transfer the lifting motion from the camshaft lifters to the rocker arms, which then open and close the engine's intake and exhaust valves. Proper pushrod length and consistency are vital for accurate valve timing and engine performance.

What does 'swedged end' mean for these pushrods?

A swedged end means the pushrod material has been compressed and formed at the ends, creating a stronger, more precise radius. This construction method helps ensure excellent concentricity and maintains the exact length of the pushrod, which is critical for consistent valve train operation.

Are any special tools or procedures needed for installation?

Installation of pushrods typically requires disassembly of the cylinder heads and valve train components. It is recommended to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions and a service manual for the correct procedures, including checking valve lash and ensuring proper component alignment.

About this part

Product Details

This set includes sixteen Manley Performance swedged end chrome pushrods, each measuring 8.050 inches long with a .120-inch wall thickness and a 5/16-inch diameter. These pushrods are a key component in your engine's valve train, transferring the motion from the lifters to the rocker arms, which in turn open and close the valves. Ensuring accurate and consistent valve timing is crucial for engine performance and longevity.

Manley has paid close attention to the details with these pushrods. You'll find meticulously formed ends with exact radii, which helps ensure excellent concentricity and closely controlled length from one pushrod to the next. This precision is important for maintaining proper valve lash and preventing excessive wear in your valvetrain components. They are also heat-treated and finished with a black oxide coating for added durability and corrosion resistance.
