Pushrod - 7/16 .165 w/ .210 Radius 9.700 Long

The Pushrod – 7/16 .165 with .210 Radius, 9.700 Long by Trend Performance Products is a precision chromoly pushrod engineered for high-performance marine engines requiring exact valve train geometry and reliability under sustained operation. This single pushrod features double-taper ball ends with extra clearance specifications, making it ideal for applications where tight tolerances and repeatable performance are non-negotiable. The 9.7-inch length and 7/16-inch diameter configuration fits OEM and racing-spec marine engine builds requiring stock or slightly modified valve train geometry.

Built from chromoly material, this pushrod resists bending and fatigue during high-RPM operation and thermal cycling common in marine engines. The 0.165-inch wall thickness provides structural rigidity while the .210-inch radius on the ball ends ensures smooth articulation at the rocker arm and lifter interfaces, reducing wear and maintaining consistent valve timing. These specifications directly translate to reduced valve train noise, extended component life, and more predictable engine behavior across wide throttle ranges and extended cruising conditions.

This pushrod serves boat owners and marine mechanics rebuilding or upgrading stock inboard engines, small-block performance packages, or racing applications where OEM pushrod specifications are critical. Whether restoring a vintage outboard or tuning a modern ski boat engine, the correct pushrod dimension ensures valve train geometry remains within specification—a detail that separates smooth operation from chronic valve train issues. Trend Performance Products pushrod precision makes it a trusted choice for marine engine builders who cannot afford valve train compromise.
