JayCee Racing Chromoly Pushrods | VW Type 1/2/3 Air-Cooled | 3/8" x 11.500" .095" Wall (JC-9106-0)

JayCee Racing Heavy-Duty Chromoly Pushrods — 3/8" x 11.500" (.095" Wall)

When standard performance parts aren't enough, JayCee Enterprise delivers. These racing pushrods are engineered for high-revving, competition-level air-cooled engines that demand maximum valvetrain stability. With a massive .095" wall thickness, they are significantly more rigid than standard .080" chromoly rods, virtually eliminating pushrod flex even under extreme dual or triple valve-spring pressures.

Whether you're building a high-compression street sleeper or a dedicated drag racer, these JayCee rods provide the mechanical insurance needed to protect your lifters, rockers, and valves from the harmonics of high-RPM operation.

Vehicle & Engine Fitment

• VW Type 1: Performance Beetle, Karmann Ghia, and Thing builds
• VW Type 2: High-output upright engines
• VW Type 3: High-performance Notchback and Squareback models
• Competition: Drag racing, sand drags, and high-performance stroker engines (2110cc, 2276cc, 2332cc+)

Why Choose JayCee?

JayCee Enterprise builds parts for maximum-effort air-cooled engines. The oversized 3/8" diameter and .095" wall make these rods far more rigid than standard .080" chromoly, virtually eliminating deflection under dual or triple valve-spring pressure.

Key Features & Benefits

• Maximum Rigidity: .095" wall is 18% thicker than standard HD rods, nearly eliminating pushrod flex.
• Oversized Diameter: 3/8" for added stiffness at high RPM.
• Aircraft-Grade Material: 4130 chromoly construction.
• Hardened Tips: High-carbon hardened tips for superior wear resistance.
• Adjustable Length: Can be shortened up to 1" to dial in geometry.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What makes these different from standard pushrods? The .095" wall is roughly 18% thicker than standard HD rods and the 3/8" diameter adds rigidity, virtually eliminating deflection under high valve-spring pressure.
• Can these be shortened? Yes — they can be shortened by up to 1" to achieve correct valvetrain geometry.
• What engines are these for? Maximum-effort air-cooled builds — VW Type 1 (Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Thing), Type 2, Type 3, and high-performance stroker/drag engines running high-tension valve springs.

Installation

• These rods can be shortened by up to 1" to set correct valvetrain geometry for your build.
• Intended for use with high-tension valve springs that require this level of stiffness to prevent valvetrain float.
