5/16 Magnum Pushrods - 7.300 Long

The 5/16 Magnum Pushrods - 7.300 Long from COMP CAMS represent a precision component essential for small block Chevy and GM V6 engine builds requiring maximum reliability and consistent valve train geometry. Pushrods are the critical link between the camshaft and rocker arms, transmitting lift commands while managing reciprocating mass and maintaining tight tolerances under high RPM stress. Whether you're building a street performance engine, restoration project, or race application, quality pushrods directly impact valve timing accuracy, fuel economy, and engine longevity.

These 7.300-inch chromoly pushrods feature 5/16-inch diameter construction with 0.080-inch thick walls, engineered to resist flexing under the extreme loads of aggressive cam profiles and high-lift valvetrain configurations. Chromoly steel provides superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard steel, reducing inertial losses while delivering the rigidity needed to prevent valve train deflection that causes timing scatter and performance loss. The 0.080-inch wall thickness ensures optimal stiffness without excess mass, a critical balance for engines operating above 6,500 RPM where pushrod flex becomes measurable and damaging. Each set includes 16 pushrods—the complete complement for small block architectures.

Mechanics and engine builders favor COMP CAMS pushrods for original equipment restorations, aftermarket cam installations, and high-output builds where stock pushrods cannot maintain valve train synchronization. The 7.300-inch length is specifically sized for small block Chevy and compatible GM V6 platforms with conventional pushrod geometry; always verify installed length against your specific engine's rocker arm ratio and block deck height before installation. Proper pushrod length ensures correct rocker arm geometry and prevents excessive preload on valve tips, which accelerates wear and creates erratic valve action that compromises compression and combustion efficiency.
