5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrods - 7.350 Long

The 5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrods - 7.350 Long from COMP CAMS are precision-engineered valve train components designed for marine and high-performance engine applications where reliability under sustained load matters. Whether you're rebuilding a marine engine for a fishing boat, cabin cruiser, or performance vessel, quality pushrods are non-negotiable—they directly transfer camshaft motion to your rocker arms and valve lifters, and any flex or wear compromises throttle response, fuel efficiency, and engine longevity. These chromoly pushrods are built to handle the demands of saltwater environments and constant RPM cycling that serious boaters and anglers depend on.

These Hi-Tech pushrods feature a 5/16-inch diameter with 0.105-inch thick walls, crafted from chromoly steel for superior strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to bending under high-valve-spring pressures. The 7.350-inch length is precision-measured to eliminate guesswork during installation and ensure correct valve timing geometry. The thick-wall construction resists deflection that can occur during aggressive acceleration or high-RPM operation—critical when you're pulling a water ski or maintaining cruising speed in choppy conditions. Chromoly's superior fatigue resistance means these pushrods won't fatigue-fail after thousands of heat cycles, delivering consistent performance season after season.

These pushrods are ideal for boaters restoring or upgrading small-block and mid-block marine engines where OEM pushrods have worn or where performance camshaft upgrades demand sturdier valve train components. The set of 16 ensures you have complete coverage for a full engine build or selective replacement without multiple orders. Proper installation requires measuring pushrod length against your specific rocker arm and lifter combination—incorrect length causes lost valve clearance or excessive lash, both of which degrade engine health. Consult your engine's service manual or speak with your marine mechanic to confirm compatibility with your rocker arm geometry and valve lift specifications before installation.
