Pushrod - 5/16 .080 8.250 Long

The Pushrod – 5/16 .080 8.250 Long from TREND PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS is a precision-engineered valve train component designed for engine builders and performance enthusiasts who demand exact specifications in their high-revving, modified engines. This pushrod serves as the critical link between your camshaft and rocker arms, transmitting cam lift directly to the valve heads with minimal deflection.

Whether you're building a stroker motor, LS-based platform, or small-block performance engine, selecting the correct pushrod diameter, wall thickness, and length is fundamental to reliable valve actuation and RPM capability. This 5/16-inch diameter pushrod features a .080-inch wall thickness, engineered to balance strength and weight—critical factors when operating at sustained high RPM where valve train harmonics and inertia become limiting factors.

TREND PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS manufactures pushrods to exacting tolerances, ensuring consistent roundness, straightness, and wall concentricity across production runs. The lightweight construction reduces load on lifters and cam lobes while maintaining the rigidity necessary to prevent flex and valve timing loss during aggressive acceleration. This pushrod is ideal for engine builders upgrading stock valve train geometry or replacing worn components.
