Valve Rods & Rockers

Valve rods and rockers are critical components within the valve train of internal combustion engines, found in passenger cars and commercial vehicles. Located within the engine's cylinder head (Engine Parts > Heads & Valve Train), these parts transmit motion from the camshaft to the valves, controlling when they open and close for optimal engine performance. Valve rods, also known as pushrods, transfer this motion, while rockers convert the linear motion into the rotational movement needed to actuate the valves. Maintaining properly functioning valve rods and rockers is essential for consistent valve timing, compression, and overall engine health. Examples in this category include MAN parts like MPN 51.04201-6263 and MAHLE components such as MPN 037VE31408000, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of engine designs.
