Pushrod - 5/16 .080 7.750 Long

The Pushrod - 5/16 .080 7.750 Long is a precision valve train component engineered for high-performance marine engines where reliable valve actuation directly impacts durability and operational consistency. Whether you're running a rebuilt block or upgrading an existing powerplant, this pushrod transfers camshaft motion to rocker arms with minimal deflection, ensuring your engine fires predictably in demanding saltwater or freshwater conditions. Built by Trend Performance Products, a brand trusted across marine and automotive performance sectors, this component addresses the exact tolerances required when every cylinder stroke matters.

Manufactured to exacting specifications, the Pushrod - 5/16 .080 7.750 Long features a 5/16-inch diameter with .080-inch wall thickness and 7.750-inch length, designed to maintain stiffness under load while remaining light enough to reduce parasitic drag on valve springs. The precision-rolled steel construction resists deflection during high-RPM operation, critical when fuel-injected or carbureted marine engines demand crisp, repeatable valve timing. Its compact 0.13-pound weight minimizes rotational mass, allowing your valvetrain to respond cleanly without compromising the structural integrity needed for consistent oil pressure and throttle response across a wide RPM band.

This pushrod is ideal for boaters and engine builders restoring or upgrading small-block and mid-displacement marine engines where OEM or performance cam profiles require precision valve actuation. Compatibility depends on your specific block and head combination; verify your engine's pushrod length and diameter specifications before ordering, as valve chamber geometry and rocker arm positioning vary significantly between manufacturers and model years. Installation is straightforward during valve cover removal—simply ensure pushrod ends seat fully in both the lifter cup and rocker arm socket, and confirm zero valve lash once the engine is cold and reassembled for the most reliable long-term operation.
