5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrods - 6.900 Long

The COMP CAMS 5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrods - 6.900 Long (MPN 7933-16) represent a precision-engineered solution for small block Ford engine builders and performance enthusiasts seeking reliable valve train geometry. Pushrods transfer motion from the camshaft to the rocker arms, making their length and strength critical to proper valve timing and lift. This 16-piece set is purpose-built for demanding applications where consistent performance and durability under high RPM operation matter. Whether you're assembling a stock rebuild, street performance build, or track-focused engine, correct pushrod selection ensures optimal valve actuation and prevents catastrophic valve train failure.

Each pushrod features a 5/16-inch diameter with 0.080-inch thick wall construction, machined from durable chromoly steel to withstand sustained high-lift cam profiles and aggressive valve spring pressures. The 6.900-inch length is precisely specified for small block Ford applications, ensuring correct geometry between the cam and rocker assembly. Hi-Tech pushrods utilize advanced manufacturing and metallurgy to minimize flex and deflection—critical factors that prevent valve float and maintain accurate valve timing across the RPM band. The chromoly material resists bending and fatigue failure far better than hollow steel alternatives, making these components essential for engines running elevated spring pressures or extended RPM limits.

Small block Ford engine builders—including those working on 289, 302, 351W, and related platforms—will find this 16-piece set covers a complete eight-cylinder valve train with both intake and exhaust pushrods included. Proper installation requires careful measurement and verification of existing pushrod length to confirm 6.900 inches matches your specific cylinder head and block combination. These pushrods are ideal for restorers upgrading factory valve trains, enthusiasts installing aftermarket cam profiles, and competitors building high-output engines where reliability is non-negotiable. Always pair with quality rocker arms and valve springs matched to your cam lift and duration specifications for optimal results.
