Genuine Chevrolet Avalanche Pushrod

The Chevrolet Avalanche Pushrod ensures that the OHV V8 engine can breathe freely. It transmits camshaft movement to the rocker arms, which in turn open and close the intake and exhaust valves in perfect synchrony. A narrow tube of steel is applied, which rides up and down on a lifter located on the cam lobe. This then pushes against the rocker and allows gases to rush in during intake and out after combustion. All this happens while maintaining strength of compression. Due to the cam's deep position in the block, the Pushrod spans the distance upwards to the cylinder head. This arrangement keeps engine height low, unlike overhead cam designs, which avoid the Pushrod altogether. The years of constant heat, high revs, or increasing valve lash pound the part until it bends, which will then tick, misfire, and lose power in any Chevrolet utilizing the same architecture, including later Avalanche editions. When the driver is aggressive with the throttle, it may bring on piston to valve contact that will warp a Pushrod. Regular lash checks and healthy valve springs are therefore even more important. Although overhead cam designs are an alternative valvetrain, the classic Chevrolet OHV system still relies on its ruggedly simple and easily serviceable Pushrod to provide the dependability buyers expect from the Avalanche line.
