Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 8.875 Long

The Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 8.875 Long by Trend Performance Products is a precision pushrод engineered for high-performance engine builds where valve train geometry directly impacts power delivery and reliability. Manufactured to exacting tolerances, this component is essential for mechanics and enthusiasts building or rebuilding small-block engines that demand exact valve actuation. Whether you're assembling a street performance engine or preparing a race-ready platform, this pushrod is the OEM-quality replacement or upgrade piece that ensures consistent valve lift and duration across the entire RPM range.

This pushrod features a 7/16-inch diameter with .165-inch wall thickness and a .210-inch radius ball end, delivering the strength-to-weight ratio critical for reliable valve train operation at high RPM. The 8.875-inch length is precisely calculated to maintain proper rocker arm geometry and eliminate binding or excessive clearance that can cause wear or valve float. Trend Performance Products' manufacturing process ensures minimal runout and consistent wall thickness, preventing the binding and premature wear that occurs with inferior components. The lightweight 0.29-pound construction reduces inertia in the valve train, allowing faster valve opening and closing response while minimizing parasitic losses in your engine's mechanical efficiency.

This pushrod is ideal for small-block engine builders working with adjustable rocker arms and aftermarket cylinder heads that require precision valve train components. Installation requires verifying pushrod length during assembly to ensure proper preload and clearance between the rocker arm and cylinder head; incorrect length causes valve lash issues or mechanical damage under boost or high-RPM conditions. Mechanics restoring original small-block platforms or upgrading to performance heads will find this component essential for maintaining valve train integrity. Always measure and confirm pushrod length during final assembly, and pair this with quality rocker arms and valve springs rated for your intended RPM target.
