COMP Cams 7983-1 Hi-Tech Pushrod Length Wall Diameter Engine Push Rod - 8.000 080 3/8

The COMP Cams 7983-1 Hi-Tech pushrod is precision-engineered for high-performance engine builds requiring exact valvetrain geometry. This pushrod features an 8.000-inch length, making it suitable for specific small block and big block applications with aftermarket cylinder heads or modified deck heights.

Key Specifications:

• Overall length: 8.000 inches
• Diameter: 3/8 inch (.375")
• Wall thickness: .080 inch for excellent strength-to-weight ratio
• Seamless chromoly steel construction with heat-treated finish
• Precision ground ball ends for optimal rocker arm contact
• Designed for use with 5/16" or 3/8" rocker arm trunnions

COMP Cams Hi-Tech pushrods are manufactured from high-quality seamless chromoly tubing and undergo a proprietary heat-treat process to maximize durability under high valve spring pressures and elevated RPM operation. The precision-ground ball ends ensure consistent geometry and reduce side loading on rocker arms. These pushrods are ideal for street performance, bracket racing, and mild competition applications where valvetrain stability is critical.

Application Notes: Pushrod length must be verified during engine assembly using an adjustable checking pushrod to ensure proper rocker arm geometry. Incorrect pushrod length can result in accelerated valvetrain wear, reduced performance, or component failure.
