5/16 Pushrods - 7.144 Long .060 Wall

The 5/16 Pushrods - 7.144 Long .060 Wall from Howards Racing Components are precision-engineered valve train components designed for high-performance and racing engine builds. These pushrods serve as the mechanical link between the cam follower and the rocker arm, transmitting lift commands from the camshaft directly to the valves. They are essential for serious engine builders and mechanics working on small-block and mid-displacement V8 platforms.

This pushrod features a 5/16-inch diameter with a 0.060-inch wall thickness, providing a balance between strength and weight that is crucial for racing engines. The 7.144-inch length is precisely manufactured to match specific cylinder head and block combinations. Howards Racing Components maintains strict tolerances on all rod geometry and concentricity, ensuring consistent lift across the engine RPM range.

Engine builders and mechanics can benefit from these pushrods when working on various engine configurations. Selecting the correct pushrod length, diameter, and wall thickness is critical to maintaining proper valve geometry and preventing valve train failure. These pushrods are suitable for a range of applications, ensuring reliable performance in demanding conditions.
