Elgin, IL…Elgin Industries, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of engine and chassis components for the automotive, heavy duty and industrial markets, has expanded its industry leading Elgin PRO-STOCK® 500 Series range of push rods with a new, custom-length 5/16” diameter push rod engineered specifically for GM LS performance engines.
Longer LS Hardened Pushrods
The new, 7.450”-long Elgin PRO-STOCK PR-515 push rod adds .050” to the popular stock rod length for LS engines to provide additional lifter pre-load lash needed for steep-ramp-profile performance camshafts used in conjunction with non-adjustable LS rocker arms.
