5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrods - 7.550 Long

The COMP CAMS 5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrods – 7.550 Long are precision-engineered valve train components designed for serious small block Mopar engine builders and performance enthusiasts. These pushrods form the critical mechanical link between your camshaft and rocker arms, directly controlling valve opening and closing events. Built for durability and consistency, this 16-piece set ensures matched performance across all cylinders, making them ideal for street performance builds, race engines, and stock restorations where reliability matters.

Manufactured from chromoly steel with a 0.080-inch thick wall, the 5/16 Hi-Tech Pushrods deliver superior strength-to-weight characteristics compared to standard steel alternatives. The 7.550-inch length is precisely engineered to maintain correct geometric relationships within your small block Mopar valve train, ensuring proper pushrod angle and rocker arm geometry for consistent valve actuation. Chromoly construction resists bending and flexing under high RPM conditions, reducing valvetrain noise and improving overall engine efficiency while handling the demands of aggressive cam profiles and high-lift applications.

Small block Mopar enthusiasts—from 318 to 360 engine platforms—benefit most from these pushrods when upgrading to performance camshafts, roller rocker arms, or higher-lift valve train components. The set of 16 ensures you have matching pairs for all eight cylinders plus spares for development or future builds. Proper pushrod selection is non-negotiable for valve train longevity; mismatched or worn pushrods lead to valve float, bent pushrods, and catastrophic engine damage. Installation requires careful length verification and rocker arm geometry checks to guarantee optimal performance and prevent premature wear on your new cam and valvetrain investment.
