5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrod - 6.800 Long

The 5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrod – 6.800 Long from COMP CAMS is engineered for small block Ford engines where reliability under load matters as much as it does when running a boat through heavy chop. A pushrod is the mechanical link between your engine's cam lobe and rocker arm, translating cam motion into valve actuation. When you're pushing an engine hard—whether that's on the dyno or in a 22-foot center console—precision pushrods prevent valve train instability and ensure consistent performance run after run. This hi-tech design is built for builders and enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on engine internals.

Manufactured from chromoly steel with a 0.080-inch thick wall, the 5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrod delivers the strength-to-weight ratio that serious engine builders demand. Chromoly's superior tensile strength resists bending and deflection under high-RPM operation, while the optimized wall thickness minimizes mass without sacrificing rigidity. At 6.800 inches in length and 5/16-inch diameter, this pushrod is sized specifically for small block Ford applications, ensuring proper geometry and clearance in tight engine bays. The hi-tech construction process controls tolerances tightly, reducing runout and promoting even wear across rocker tip and cam lobe interfaces.

Install one pushrod or an entire set when rebuilding a small block Ford engine destined for street, marine, or competition use. Pushrods work in matched sets with your cam profile, rocker arm ratio, and valve spring pressure, so choose this length when your build calls for 6.800-inch geometry. Whether you're refreshing a tired marinized 302 or assembling a fresh 347 stroker, COMP CAMS' hi-tech pushrod delivers the repeatability and durability you need. Each unit ships individually, so order the quantity required for your complete valve train assembly—typically eight for a V8 engine.
