Description

3/16” Cut-to-Length Chromoly Push Rods – Honda GX200 / Clone / Predator


EC’s 3/16” cut-to-length Chromoly push rods are engineered for builders who demand precise valvetrain control and custom geometry. Designed for Honda GX200, Predator 212, and Clone-based racing engines, these tubular pushrods offer superior strength, reduced deflection, and are ideal for everything from stock-class builds to high-lift, high-RPM modified engines.


Each pushrod features heat-treated ball tips for maximum durability and consistent valve motion at high RPMs. The Chromoly construction significantly reduces flex, ensuring stable valve timing and improved performance under load.


Push Rod Kit Includes:

  • 2x Chromoly Push Rod Tubes (Uncut)
  • 4x Heat-Treated Ball Tips (for 2 assembled rods)


Push Rod Specs:

  • Stem Diameter: 3/16” (4.75mm / ~5mm)
  • Uncut Tube Length: 5.1375”
  • Tip Length: 0.265”
  • Tip Diameter: 5mm
  • Max Total Length (Assembled): 5.667”


Compatibility – Fits Most Small Block Clone Engines:

  • Honda GX160 / GX200
  • Predator 212 Hemi & Non-Hemi
  • Predator 224 (Non-Hemi)
  • Ghost 212
  • Tillotson 196R / 212R / 225RS / 236 / 268
  • Ducar 196 / 212 / 224
  • Wildcat 223 / 240


Understanding Push Rod Length and Rocker Geometry

Proper pushrod length is critical to achieving optimal rocker arm geometry and valvetrain performance. Here's what you need to know:

Rocker Mounting Type Matters:

  • Shaft-Mounted Rockers: Push rod length is finalized after geometry is set. Use stands or shims to adjust geometry first.
  • Stud-Mounted Rockers: Push rod length directly impacts geometry and must be measured with changes in mind.


What Affects Push Rod Length?

Your engine build is unique—and so is your ideal pushrod length. Key influencing factors include:

  • Camshaft Base Circle: Smaller base circles (common with high-lift cams) require longer pushrods.
  • Camshaft Lift: Changes lift geometry, affecting length needs.
  • Tappet (Lifter) Length: OEM and aftermarket lifters vary in length.
  • Deck Height: Varies across clone blocks and may be milled.
  • Head Gasket Thickness: Ranges from 0.009” to 0.055”.
  • Cylinder Head Design: Hemi, Non-Hemi, billet or if the head has been modified or milled—each affects valve tip location. 
  • Rocker Arm Design & Ratio: Rocker location and leverage influence pushrod specs.
  • Valve Stem Length: Alters geometry and installed height.


Measuring Made Easy:

Because of these variables, we strongly recommend using an adjustable push rod length checker before finalizing your cut. This tool helps ensure proper valve lash, clearance, and geometry—preventing premature wear or engine failure.


Key Benefits:

  • Custom-fit pushrods for any build
  • High-strength Chromoly tubing
  • Reduced valvetrain deflection
  • Ideal for modded and race-prepped engines
  • Supports accurate valve motion at high RPMs

FAQ

Q1: How do I determine the correct push rod length for my engine?
A: Push rod length depends on your cam profile, rocker geometry, valve length, deck height, and lifter dimensions. We recommend using an adjustable push rod length checker to measure your setup before cutting.


Q2: Will these push rods fit my Predator 212 Hemi engine?
A: Yes, these push rods are compatible with Predator 212 Hemi and Non-Hemi engines, as well as Honda GX200, Ducar, Tillotson, Wildcat, and other clone-based platforms.


Q3: Do I need to modify my head to use these push rods?
A: In most cases, no modification is needed—just ensure proper clearances, geometry, and that the spring pockets and rocker setup match your valvetrain.


Q4: Can I use these push rods with billet rockers or high-ratio rockers?
A: Yes, but you must measure your geometry and valve lift precisely. High-ratio or heavier rockers affect push rod requirements, and incorrect length can cause valve float or failure.


Q5: What tools do I need to cut and assemble these push rods?
A: You'll need a precision cutter or tubing cutter for Chromoly, and a press or vise to install the ball tips. Use a caliper to measure total length accurately after cutting.


Q6: Are the push rod tips reusable?
A: No, the tips are designed for a single press-fit installation. Reuse is not recommended as it can compromise durability and fitment.
