Pushrod - 5/16 .080 8.500 Long

The Pushrod - 5/16 .080 8.500 Long by TREND PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS is a precision valve train component designed for high-performance engine builds and restoration projects. Pushrods play a crucial role in the valvetrain, transferring motion from the camshaft to the rocker arms, which control valve timing and lift. This makes them essential for both stock and modified engines.

This pushrod features a 5/16-inch outer diameter and a .080-inch wall thickness, providing an optimal balance of strength and lightweight design. The 8.500-inch length is engineered to maintain correct geometry between the cam follower and rocker arm, ensuring consistent valve lift while preventing binding or excessive clearance. TREND PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS manufactures these pushrods to strict tolerances using high-quality steel, which is critical for engines operating at higher RPMs.

Engine builders and mechanics depend on the specifications of TREND pushrods when assembling or refreshing conventional pushrod-design small-block and big-block engines. This particular 8.500-inch length is suitable for a wide range of domestic muscle car and truck applications, making it a versatile choice for performance enthusiasts.
