Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 8.675 Long

The Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 8.675 Long from TREND PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS is a precision-engineered pushrod designed for high-performance marine and automotive engines where reliability and exact tolerances are non-negotiable. Built for boaters and engine builders who demand consistency, this chromoly pushrod is engineered to transmit valve actuation from the camshaft to rocker arms with minimal deflection and maximum durability. Whether you're rebuilding a performance outboard, inboard, or freshwater competition engine, this component plays a critical role in valve train geometry and engine efficiency.

Manufactured from chromoly steel, this pushrod features a 7/16-inch diameter with a 0.165-inch wall thickness, providing the strength-to-weight ratio necessary for sustained high-RPM operation without excessive mass. The 0.210-inch radius double-taper design reduces stress concentration at critical bearing points, extending service life and improving overall valve train response. At 8.675 inches in length and weighing just 0.28 pounds, this pushrod integrates seamlessly into tight engine bay configurations while maintaining structural integrity under extreme valve spring pressures. The extra clearance ball ends ensure proper clearance during installation and reduce the risk of binding or misalignment during operation.

This pushrod is ideal for engine builders, marine technicians, and dedicated performance boaters working on displacement increases, cam upgrades, or full engine restorations where OEM specifications require precision replacement or optimization. Proper installation requires careful measurement of installed length and rocker arm geometry to avoid valve train interference or excessive preload. Available individually, this SKU allows for full valve train customization and ensures you can source exact replacements during service or modification. Compatibility depends on your specific engine platform and pushrod cup configuration; verify length, diameter, and ball end type before ordering to ensure correct fit.
