Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 8.850 Long

The Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 8.850 Long is a precision engine component engineered for various applications requiring exact valve train geometry. Built by Trend Performance Products, this pushrod serves as the critical mechanical link between your engine's cam lobe and rocker arm assembly, transmitting lift commands that open and close cylinder heads with split-second timing. A properly matched pushrod ensures valve events fire on schedule—essential for fuel economy, power delivery, and long-term engine reliability.

This specific pushrod features a 7/16-inch body diameter with a .165-inch wall thickness, delivering the rigidity needed to resist deflection under high-RPM loads while keeping rotational mass minimal. The .210-inch radius at both ends provides a smooth, controlled contact surface that distributes pressure evenly across rocker arm pads and cam follower tips, reducing wear and extending component life. At 8.850 inches in length, this pushrod matches OEM or performance-spec applications requiring tight tolerances; the precision bore and radius work together to minimize friction losses and maintain consistent valve timing.

Marine engine builders and experienced boaters who demand reliable cold-start performance and sustained high-speed operation benefit most from Trend Performance pushrods. However, this component may also be suitable for other engine applications that require similar specifications. Its design ensures compatibility with a range of valve train setups, making it a versatile choice for performance enthusiasts.
