5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrods - 6.850 Long

COMP CAMS 5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrods – 6.850 Long (Set of 16) are precision-engineered valve train components designed for small block Ford engines requiring reliable, high-performance pushrod geometry. These chromoly pushrods deliver the dimensional consistency and durability demanded in marine and high-RPM applications where exact pushrod length and wall thickness directly impact valve timing accuracy and engine longevity.

Manufactured from chromoly steel with a 0.080-inch wall thickness, these pushrods provide superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard solid steel designs. The 5/16-inch diameter and precisely machined 6.850-inch length ensure correct pushrod geometry for small block Ford applications, critical for maintaining proper rocker arm angle and valve stem contact pressure. The hi-tech construction minimizes deflection under load, a key consideration in high-compression or forced-induction marine engines where valve actuation consistency prevents valve float and maintains peak performance across the RPM band.

This 16-piece set suits full small block Ford engine rebuilds or complete valve train replacements. Whether you're restoring a marine engine to original specification or upgrading a performance powerplant, correct pushrod selection prevents costly mid-season failures and ensures repeatable, predictable power delivery. COMP CAMS pushrods are favored by marine engine builders and serious offshore anglers who demand reliability in salt-air environments and high-load conditions.

Small block Ford compatibility spans decades of marine and automotive applications. Verify your specific engine block and year before ordering to confirm this 6.850-inch length matches your original factory or performance specifications.
