Chrome moly pushrod 5/16 .110 wall (16 required for V8)
Our pushrods have a .110"wall thickness not .080" like others. These 0.110" thick wall 5/16 pushrods are great for LS engines with an aftermarket camshaft and valve springs.
The thick wall minimises pushrod flex in high lift/high spring pressure applications. A pushrod that is flexing up in the rpm range is robbing your engine of horsepower.

Standard Length:
The 7.400-inch length is commonly used for LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6, LSA, L76, L77, and L99 engines with factory-style valve trains.
Factors Affecting Length:
Camshaft: Different camshafts have varying base circle diameters, which affects the required pushrod length.
Cylinder Heads: Cylinder head modifications, like milling, can change the valve stem height and necessitate a different pushrod length.
Lifters: The type and design of lifters can also influence the optimal pushrod length.
Rocker Arms: Rocker arm design and geometry play a role in determining the required pushrod length.
Checking Length:
To ensure proper valvetrain geometry, it's crucial to measure the pushrod length with an adjustable pushrod length checker tool. This allows for precise adjustment to achieve the correct lifter preload.
Importance of Preload:
Proper lifter preload is essential for optimal engine performance and longevity. Insufficient preload can lead to noise and improper valve operation, while excessive preload can cause valve train damage.
