Pushrod - 5/16 .080 7.900 Long

The Pushrod - 5/16 .080 7.900 Long is a precision valve train component engineered for marine engine performance and reliability. Built by TREND PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS, this pushrod serves as the critical link between your engine's cam and rocker arm assembly, transferring camshaft motion with minimal deflection. Whether you're maintaining a recreational fishing boat, restoring a classic marine engine, or upgrading performance on a cruiser, this OEM-quality pushrod ensures consistent valve timing and fuel efficiency across all operating conditions.

Engineered to exacting tolerances, the 5/16-inch diameter with .080-inch wall thickness provides the optimal balance of strength and light weight for marine applications. The 7.900-inch length is precisely dimensioned to maintain correct pushrod geometry and valve clearance in compatible engines. TREND PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS manufactures these components with high-quality steel construction and precision honing to eliminate binding and ensure smooth operation under sustained RPM loads. The tight dimensional control prevents excessive wear on rocker arm balls and cam followers, extending engine life and reducing maintenance intervals.

This pushrod is ideal for boaters and marine technicians replacing worn valve train components or performing engine rebuilds. Proper installation requires verification of correct pushrod length and compatibility with your specific engine block and cylinder head combination—slight variations can affect valve clearance and engine performance. The lightweight design (0.13 lbs) minimizes reciprocating mass, reducing inertial losses and improving throttle response. Installation is straightforward for experienced mechanics familiar with valve train assembly; torque specs and pushrod preload procedures should follow the engine manufacturer's specifications for optimal results.
