Description
Product Overview
The Comp Cams 5/16 inch push rod (model 7692-16) is a precision‑engineered component designed for Small Block Chrysler engines ranging from 273 to 360 cubic inches. Crafted from a single piece of .080 inch wall chromemoly steel tubing, the rod delivers exceptional rigidity and resistance to flex under high RPM conditions. Each rod is heat‑treated to enhance durability and ensure consistent performance over the life of the engine. The push rod features a cup‑end design that mates perfectly with adjustable rocker arms, and a black‑oxide coating provides corrosion resistance while the laser‑etched part number and length aid in quick identification during installation.
Usage
This push rod is ideal for performance‑oriented builds, street‑driven daily drivers, and classic restoration projects where reliability and precise valve timing are critical. It fits engines equipped with adjustable rocker arms, making it a perfect upgrade for enthusiasts seeking tighter valve lash control and improved high‑rpm stability.
