Description
Product Overview
The COMP Cams HiTech Series pushrod is engineered for durability and performance. Constructed from a single billet of chromemoly steel, each rod features a robust 0.080″ wall thickness that resists bending under extreme combustion pressures. After forging, the rods undergo a thorough heat‑treatment process to stabilize the grain structure, followed by a black oxide coating that protects against rust and wear while providing a low‑friction surface. Available in 5/16″ and 3/8″ diameters with lengths ranging from 6.200″ to 11.100″, the HiTech pushrod fits a broad spectrum of V8, V6, and inline engines. The part number 7754-16 corresponds to the standard 5/16″ x 9.500″ configuration, weighing 1.98 pounds and measuring 12.44 x 3.54 x 1.65 inches.
Usage
Designed for both street and competition environments, these pushrods excel in high‑rpm scenarios where valve train stability is critical. Whether you are rebuilding a classic muscle car, upgrading a modern performance engine, or preparing a race‑spec powerplant, the HiTech pushrod delivers consistent lift and timing accuracy. The heat‑treated construction ensures compatibility with guide plates, eliminating premature wear on both the rod and the plate. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a reliable upgrade that tolerates aggressive cam profiles and high boost pressures.
Why Choose Us
COMP Cams has a legacy of precision engineering dating back decades, and the HiTech series reflects that heritage. Each pushrod is laser‑etched with the part number for easy identification during assembly and service. The black oxide finish not only enhances corrosion resistance but also reduces friction against the guide plate, extending component life. Our rigorous quality control includes dimensional inspection, hardness testing, and a final visual check to guarantee that every rod meets OEM specifications and exceeds aftermarket expectations.

FAQ
What engines are compatible with the HiTech pushrod?
The HiTech pushrod fits most V8, V6, and inline engines that use standard 5/16″ or 3/8″ diameter rods. Specific length sets are offered to match common bore‑stroke combinations.
Do I need to replace my guide plates when installing these pushrods?
No. The pushrods are heat‑treated to a hardness that is compatible with existing guide plates, preventing premature wear on both components.
How does the black oxide finish affect performance?
The black oxide coating reduces surface friction against the guide plate and protects the steel from rust, which helps maintain consistent valve train geometry over time.
Can I use these pushrods for racing applications?
Yes. Their high tensile strength and heat‑treated durability make them suitable for high‑rpm racing engines that demand precise valve control.
What is the warranty on COMP Cams HiTech pushrods?
COMP Cams offers a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects, ensuring you receive a product that meets their rigorous quality standards.
