5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrod - 8.000 Long

The COMP CAMS 5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrod – 8.000 Long (part number 8415-1) is a precision chromoly valve train component engineered for marine engine performance and durability. This 8-inch pushrod delivers the consistent valve actuation required for reliable outboard and inboard motor operation, where pushrod stability directly impacts combustion timing and engine efficiency under continuous high-RPM conditions.

Manufactured from chromoly steel with a 5/16-inch diameter and 0.105-inch thick wall construction, this pushrod provides the strength-to-weight balance necessary for high-performance marine applications. The Hi-Tech design minimizes deflection under load, maintaining precise valve timing across the power band. At just 0.15 lbs, the component integrates seamlessly into existing marine engine assemblies without adding unnecessary rotating mass that could compromise overall drivetrain efficiency.

Boaters performing engine rebuilds, valve train service, or upgrading to performance camshaft packages will find this pushrod essential for restoring or enhancing cylinder head function. Whether replacing worn components on a weekend fishing boat or building a racing engine, the precision tolerances of this COMP CAMS unit ensure proper valve clearances and consistent performance throughout the operating range.

COMP CAMS pushrods are trusted components in the marine engine rebuild community. This 8-inch length fits standard marine V-8 and inline configurations, making it a go-to replacement for technicians and serious enthusiasts maintaining or restoring classic and modern powerplants. Stock this component for scheduled valve train maintenance or have it on hand for mid-season repairs.
