Pushrod - 3/8 .135 w/ .210 Radius 8.380 Long

The Pushrod - 3/8 .135 w/ .210 Radius 8.380 Long from TREND PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS is a precision-engineered valve train component built for high-performance marine and automotive engines. Designed for serious boaters and engine builders who demand reliability under demanding conditions, this chromoly pushrod transfers precise valve actuation from the cam lobe to the rocker arm—a critical link in engine breathing efficiency. Whether you're rebuilding a performance marine engine or restoring a classic inboard, selecting the correct pushrod length and wall thickness is essential for proper valve train geometry and longevity.

This pushrod measures 8.380 inches long with a 3/8-inch diameter and 0.135-inch wall thickness, providing the structural rigidity needed to handle high RPM operation without flex or deflection. The 0.210-inch radius ball ends ensure consistent contact with both the cam follower and rocker arm, minimizing wear and distributing loads evenly across the valve train. Constructed from chromoly steel, this pushrod resists fatigue and maintains dimensional stability across wide temperature ranges—critical when operating an engine in varying water temperatures and demanding throttle conditions. The precision manufacturing and tight tolerances mean proper fitment and alignment, reducing the risk of valve timing issues that could compromise engine performance on the water.

Engine builders, marine technicians, and weekend boaters restoring or upgrading performance engines will appreciate the dependability this component delivers. Installation requires careful measurement to ensure correct pushrod length—even 0.050 inch of deviation can affect valve train preload and rocker arm geometry, so verify compatibility with your specific engine block, cylinder head, and rocker arm configuration before ordering. This single pushrod (sold individually) integrates seamlessly into any build using 3/8-inch diameter pushrod galleries, making it an ideal replacement or upgrade for vintage marine blocks, street engines, or high-revving competition builds where precision and durability are non-negotiable.
