7/16 Moly Pushrod - 8.850 Long

The 7/16 Moly Pushrod - 8.850 Long by MANLEY is a precision-engineered valve train component built for high-performance marine and automotive engines that demand reliability under sustained load. Whether you're running a high-output inboard powerplant or a custom-built performance package, this chromoly pushrod transmits valve actuation force from your cam to your rocker arm with minimal deflection and maximum durability. Designed for serious boaters and engine builders who refuse to compromise on internals, the 7/16 Moly Pushrod is the OEM-quality choice for engines pushing real power.

This pushrod measures 8.850 inches in length with a 7/16-inch diameter and 0.165-inch thick wall construction, delivering superior strength-to-weight ratio compared to standard steel versions. The chromoly (chromium-molybdenum steel) material resists bending and fatigue cracking under high RPM cycles, while the swedged ends ensure a secure fit in both the cam follower and rocker arm saddle without risk of slippage. The heavier wall thickness absorbs shock loads that occur during aggressive valve actuation, critical for engines running solid lifters, aggressive cam profiles, or high-lift applications.

Technicians and engine builders working on stroker builds, supercharged packages, or vintage restoration projects where OEM pushrods are no longer available will find this MANLEY component an essential upgrade. Proper pushrod selection and length are non-negotiable—even 0.100 inch of error causes valvetrain geometry problems that lead to poor sealing and component wear. Verify your pushrod length requirement with your engine's specific rocker arm height, lifter rise, and block configuration before installation; this 8.850-inch length is engineered for specific applications and should be matched to your valve train geometry for safe, consistent operation.
