Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 9.525 Long

The Pushrod – 7/16" .165 w/ .210 Radius 9.525 Long from TREND PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS is a precision chromoly pushrod engineered for high-performance marine engine applications. This single unit features double-taper design with extra clearance ball ends, delivering reliable valve train operation in demanding offshore and inboard engine environments where consistent, accurate pushrod geometry is critical to performance and longevity.

Manufactured from durable chromoly steel, this pushrod measures 9.525 inches in overall length with a 7/16-inch diameter and 0.165-inch thick wall construction. The double-taper design combined with the 0.210-inch radius ball ends reduces friction at both the rocker arm and lifter interfaces, minimizing wear during high-RPM operation. The extra clearance design accommodates cylinder head variations and tight valve cover clearances common in retrofit and performance builds, while the precision wall thickness ensures optimal strength-to-weight ratio without sacrificing durability in salt-air marine environments.

This pushrod is designed for boaters and marine technicians rebuilding or upgrading inboard engine valve trains, particularly those restoring classic engines or tuning modern marine powerplants. Whether servicing a weekend cruiser or a serious offshore fishing platform, this component maintains the precise geometry required for consistent valve timing and reduced parasitic drag. The chromoly construction resists corrosion from salt spray exposure, making it ideal for coastal and open-water applications where standard steel pushrods would degrade rapidly.

TREND PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS pushrods are widely recognized in the marine engine rebuild community for dimensional accuracy and repeatability. This specific configuration—with its extra clearance ball ends and double-taper profile—works across a range of engine platforms where standard pushrods create fitment challenges or clearance conflicts, making it a reliable choice for builders who demand precision components backed by consistent quality control.
