Using 7/16-inch diameter 4130 chrome molybdenum tubing with a .165-inch wall, Trend’s new alcohol pushrod features a 3/8-inch ball on the lifter end and a 5/16-inch radiused cup on the rocker-ball end. Noticeably, the external depth of the cup is a shallow ¼ inch to provide adequate working clearance. Further working clearances are accomplished by a precision-ground full taper, starting at 7/16-inch diameter near the lifter end and reducing to 3/8-inch under the cup.
For extra strength and rigidity, Trend’s new alcohol series pushrod is subjected to a carbo-nitriding process. Placed in an atmospheric furnace containing a combination of ammonia and natural gas, the pushrods are case-hardened to Rockwell Rc60.
