5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrod - 7.250 Long

The COMP CAMS 5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrod, 7.250" long, is a precision-engineered valve train component designed for small block Chevy marine and performance engine builds. Built from chromoly steel with a 0.080" thick wall, this pushrod delivers the rigidity and durability required for high-RPM operation while minimizing deflection under load. The hi-tech construction provides superior strength-to-weight characteristics compared to standard pushrods, making it the choice for serious engine builders who demand reliability in demanding marine conditions.

The 5/16" diameter and 7.250" length are engineered to match small block Chevy specifications precisely, ensuring proper valve train geometry and clearance within your engine bay. Chromoly construction resists fatigue and maintains dimensional stability across wide temperature ranges—critical for marine engines subject to sustained high-load operation and thermal cycling. The hi-tech pushrod design reduces mass without sacrificing strength, which improves valve train response and reduces stress on related components like rocker arms and valve seats. This single pushrod (sold individually) integrates seamlessly into OEM-spec and modified small block Chevy engine configurations.

Marine engine builders, performance rebuilders, and boating enthusiasts restoring or modifying small block Chevy power plants rely on COMP CAMS pushrods to achieve consistent valve train clearances and reliability under sustained operating conditions. Whether you're replacing a worn component or building a complete engine from the block up, this hi-tech pushrod meets the exacting tolerances required for smooth valve operation and long service life. Each pushrod is manufactured to COMP CAMS' precision standards, ensuring your engine delivers the performance and dependability expected from quality valve train components.
