Pushrod - 5/16 .080 7.800 Long

The Pushrod - 5/16 .080 7.800 Long is a precision-engineered control rod designed for marine engine timing and valve actuation systems. Built to exacting standards, this pushrod serves as a critical linkage component in outboard and inboard motor assemblies where reliable mechanical transfer of motion is essential. Whether you're rebuilding a classic marine engine or maintaining a high-performance fishing boat, this chromoly construction delivers the durability needed for years of trouble-free operation on the water.

Manufactured from chromoly steel, the Pushrod - 5/16 .080 7.800 Long combines lightweight strength with superior fatigue resistance—critical properties when operating under the continuous thermal cycling and vibration of a marine engine. The 5/16-inch diameter with 0.080-inch wall thickness strikes an optimal balance between structural rigidity and weight reduction, while the ball-end design ensures precise pivot engagement in both rocker arm and lifter cup sockets. This 7.800-inch length matches OEM specifications for proper valve clearance and timing geometry, preventing premature wear and maintaining engine efficiency across the entire RPM range.

Boaters and marine mechanics rely on this pushrod for engine rebuilds, top-end overhauls, and preventive maintenance across numerous marine powerplant designs. Installation is straightforward—simply match the ball ends into lifter sockets and rocker arm cups, ensuring proper orientation and seating depth. This individual replacement unit (sold each) allows targeted repair without unnecessary component replacement, making it an economical choice for selective restoration or emergency repairs while docked or at sea.
