Default Quick Pushrod Question

I just put a set of LS6 heads on my LS1 and i also just heard that the LS6 valves are longer thn LS1 valves. My pushrods are 7.400", will they be ok or do i need shorter pushrods? I did notice a little more preload than normal when i tightened the rocker arms. I haven't started the car yet until i find out what to do first.

I've got stock LS6 heads and 7.400 pushrods. I have slight ticking, so either 7.400 or 7.425 would've worked for me. The very small amount of length difference in the valves wasn't enough to offset anything.
