Pushrod - 5/16 .080 7.100 Long

The Pushrod - 5/16 .080 7.100 Long is a precision valve train component engineered for high-performance engine builds and competition applications. This hardened steel pushrod connects the camshaft follower to the rocker arm, transmitting precise valve actuation commands at critical RPM ranges. Whether you're upgrading a stock small-block engine or fine-tuning a dedicated race motor, this OEM-quality pushrod delivers the repeatability and durability that serious builders demand.

Manufactured to exacting tolerances, the Pushrod - 5/16 .080 7.100 Long features a 5/16-inch diameter shaft with a .080-inch wall thickness, providing the optimal balance between flex resistance and weight reduction. The 7.100-inch length is calibrated to maintain precise pushrod geometry, critical for consistent valve timing and rocker arm geometry angles that prevent binding or excessive wear. The hardened steel construction resists scoring and galling under high-lift, high-velocity cam profiles, while the lightweight design minimizes inertial loading on the valve train at elevated RPMs.

Builders working with small-block Chevrolet, Ford, or Mopar platforms will find this pushrod compatible with both hydraulic roller and mechanical roller cam conversions. Proper valve lash adjustment and rocker arm preload become critical when installing this component—ensure your rocker geometry accounts for the 7.100-inch length to maintain optimal valve lift and duration characteristics. This pushrod performs reliably in street engines, road-race applications, and bracket-racing builds where consistency across repeated heat cycles matters most.
