Manton's 2013 to Current GM Gen V 6.2L LT
Excessive stress can overload them, affecting valve train performance.
We offer 11/32, 3/8, and 7/16 diameter 3-piece pushrods for enhanced strength and stability. Crafted from 4130/4135 seamless Chromoly tubing, they feature various heat-treating options and billet steel tips.
Our CNC machined 86L20 bar stock tips are core hardened and triple tempered for durability, enhancing pushrod longevity and valve train performance.
We engineer pushrod dimensions to optimize your engine’s specific needs. 3/8 offers increased load capacity without cylinder head port binding.
Consider our Series 5 pushrods for maximal performance, offering 105,000 p.s.i. tensile strength over Series 3, ensuring precise valve timing and resistance to surges.
Proven in top-tier competitions, our Series 5 pushrods excel in durability and strength. For custom pushrod needs in LT engines, For assistance, call (951)245-6565.
