Pushrod - 3/8 .080 9.900 Long

The Pushrod - 3/8 .080 9.900 Long is a precision valve train component engineered for high-performance marine engines and custom powerplants. This pushrod serves as the critical mechanical link between your camshaft and rocker arms, translating cam lobe motion into precise valve actuation. Whether you're rebuilding a classic inboard engine, upgrading a performance outboard, or assembling a custom marine powerplant, the correct pushrod specification is non-negotiable for reliable valve timing and engine longevity.

Manufactured by Trend Performance Products, this pushrod features a 3/8-inch diameter with an .080-inch wall thickness, delivering the ideal balance of rigidity and weight for consistent valve actuation under load. The 9.900-inch length is precisely engineered to match specific engine geometries, ensuring zero excess slack and optimal pushrod angle at both the lifter and rocker arm contact points. Trend Performance's commitment to strict tolerances means you get repeatable, accurate valve events cycle after cycle, whether running at idle or under full throttle conditions on the water.

This pushrod is ideal for serious boaters and engine builders restoring or upgrading classic V8 inboards, small-block performance builds, or purpose-built marine powerplants where OEM specifications are critical. Proper pushrod length directly affects valve overlap timing and engine efficiency—too short creates lost motion; too long risks valve float and bent pushrods under acceleration. Always verify your engine's exact pushrod requirement before installation, as length varies significantly across different engine families and block configurations. At just 0.21 pounds, this component contributes minimal rotating mass while maintaining the durability demanded by saltwater and freshwater marine service.
