| 3M pushrods combine the light weight of aluminum with the high strength and stiffness of 3M™ Nextel™ Ceramic Fibers to form an innovative composite pushrod that helps to reduce the mass and improve the damping characteristics of critical valve train components. The resulting benefits are higher engine rpm’s, increased horsepower, and reduced valve float. According to Josh Wilson, Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, "3M AMC Pushrods are the most durable that we've ever had. The pushrods lasted a full race season, and we never failed a pushrod."
Improved Horsepower
3M™ High Performance Pushrods achieve higher horsepower by combining improved control, less weight, and improved strength when used in conjunction with higher rocker ratios.
Damping
Because of its composite structure, 3M™ High Performance Pushrods do not transmit unwanted vibration energy into the valve train.
Valve Control
3M™ High Performance Pushrods allow the engine to run at higher rpms before valve float occurs. Soft float may be eliminated completely. The additional valvetrain stability, enabled by 3M pushrods, means that you can make modifications, such as a more aggressive cam, to optimize your engine for more horsepower.
Weight
For the same size and length, 3M™ High Performance Pushrods are over 40% lighter than a steel pushrod.
Stiffness
3M™ High Performance Pushrods are stiffer than steel.
Performance
Spintron results (PDF, 1.6 Mb) show that 3M™ High Performance Pushrods allow 200 more PRM than steel. |
