5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrods - 7.100 Long

The COMP CAMS 5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrods, 7.100 inches long (part number 7938-16), are precision engine components engineered for high-performance marine and automotive applications where valve actuation reliability directly impacts overall engine durability. These chromoly pushrods deliver the lightweight strength required in modern hi-tech engine designs, allowing for faster valve response and reduced parasitic losses compared to conventional steel pushrods.

Manufactured from chromoly material with a 0.080-inch thick wall and 5/16-inch diameter, this 16-piece set meets the dimensional and structural requirements of demanding engine builds. The 7.100-inch length is calibrated for specific engine configurations where proper pushrod geometry ensures correct rocker arm geometry and optimal valve lift. The thin-wall design reduces weight without sacrificing the rigidity needed to maintain consistent valve timing across the RPM range, a critical factor in engines that see frequent high-load operation or extended run times.

This set is intended for rebuilds, performance upgrades, and original equipment replacement in marine engines and land-based applications where COMP CAMS pushrods are specified. Engine builders and technicians rely on COMP CAMS' dimensional accuracy to avoid valve lash issues, bent pushrods, and the downtime that follows poor valve train geometry. The 16-piece quantity covers a typical V-8 configuration with one set per engine.

Verify your engine's pushrod length and diameter specifications before ordering—pushrods are not universal, and incorrect sizing can cause catastrophic valve train failure. COMP CAMS pushrods are produced to industry tolerances and are a core component in valve train assemblies where precision directly affects engine longevity and performance.
