Pushrod - 5/16 .080 7.100 Long

The Pushrod - 5/16 .080 7.100 Long is a precision valve train component designed for high-performance engine builds and competition applications. This hardened steel pushrod connects the camshaft follower to the rocker arm, ensuring precise valve actuation at critical RPM ranges. It is ideal for builders looking to upgrade stock small-block engines or fine-tune dedicated race motors.

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 an optimal balance between flex resistance and weight reduction. The 7.100-inch length is calibrated to maintain precise pushrod geometry, which is critical for consistent valve timing and preventing binding or excessive wear. Its hardened steel construction resists scoring and galling under high-lift, high-velocity cam profiles.

Builders working with small-block Chevrolet, Ford, or Mopar engines will find this pushrod compatible with hydraulic roller and mechanical roller cam conversions. Proper valve lash adjustment and rocker arm preload are essential 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 is designed to enhance performance in demanding applications.
