Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 9.475 Long

The Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 9.475 Long from Trend Performance Products is a precision valve train component engineered for serious engine builders and performance mechanics. This pushrod is designed to transfer precise valve actuation from the camshaft to rocker arms in overhead-valve (OHV) engine configurations. Whether you're rebuilding a classic small-block Chevy, restoring a vintage muscle car, or assembling a high-revving performance engine, selecting the correct pushrod specification is critical to maintaining proper valve timing and preventing catastrophic engine failure.

Built to exacting tolerances, this 9.475-inch pushrod features a 7/16-inch diameter body with a .165-inch wall thickness and a .210-inch radius at the ends, geometry that ensures consistent load distribution and eliminates stress concentration points during high-RPM operation. Trend Performance Products manufactures pushrods from premium materials selected to withstand the cyclical loading demands of modern performance engines while maintaining dimensional stability across extended heat cycles. The precision radius geometry reduces flex and binding, enabling accurate valve opening and closing events that directly impact cylinder filling, scavenging efficiency, and overall engine power delivery.

This pushrod is ideal for builders working on small-block and big-block applications where OEM replacement or performance upgrade pushrods are required. Correct pushrod length is non-negotiable—too short and the rocker arm geometry becomes compromised; too long and binding or preload loss occurs. Before installation, verify your specific engine's pushrod length requirement against your rocker arm type, camshaft lift, and valve cover configuration. Trend Performance's 9.475-inch length suits a broad range of popular engine builds, making it a reliable choice for both street and competition applications requiring factory-compatible valve train geometry.
