5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrod - 6.950 Long

The 5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrod - 6.950 Long from COMP CAMS is a precision valvetrain component engineered for high-performance engine builds and competition applications. Pushrods are essential mechanical links in overhead-valve (OHV) engine architectures, transferring camshaft lobe motion to rocker arms and ultimately controlling valve lift and timing. This 6.950-inch length variant is designed for specific engine configurations where exact valvetrain geometry and component spacing are critical to optimal performance and longevity.

COMP CAMS' Hi-Tech pushrods utilize advanced materials and manufacturing processes to minimize deflection, reduce valvetrain noise, and enhance reliability under high-RPM conditions. The 5/16-inch diameter specification indicates the pushrod's outer diameter, a standardized dimension that interfaces with pushrod cups on rocker arms and lifter seats. Hi-Tech construction typically incorporates hardened steel or similar alloy materials with precision straightness tolerances, ensuring consistent valve actuation across all engine speeds and load conditions. The exact 6.950-inch length is critical for maintaining proper rocker arm geometry and preload settings—using an incorrect length can result in inadequate valve lash clearance, improper valve timing, or catastrophic valvetrain failure.

This pushrod is ideal for engine builders, performance enthusiasts, and technical rebuilders working on Chevrolet small-block, big-block, or other OHV V8 platforms requiring 6.950-inch valvetrain geometry. Installation requires careful measurement and verification against factory specifications or custom build documentation to ensure the valvetrain maintains correct geometry and clearances. Verify compatibility with your specific engine block, cylinder head, rocker arm type, and lifter configuration before purchase. COMP CAMS components are trusted in street, strip, and racing applications where precision valvetrain control directly impacts engine performance and durability.
