What size pushrods????

Hi i milled the heads out of my 6.0 , i took out .050 out of them and i was wondering since i kept everything else stock like rockers and pushrods, that i need to put shorter pushrods in order to keep my valvetrain balanced again, i got a set of crane 7.350 lenght pushrods, will this work out for me?? thanks any help would be apreciated!!

After what I have learned I would measure them before I selected a pushrod. My LQ9 with an unmilled deck and unmilled heads needed 7.375" pushrods for .087" lifter preload with stock lifters and 7.325" pushrods with LS7 lifters. Even though much of what you read might be guys saying just say put in 7.4" pushrods and you will be fine. I have also seen threads where several guys measured their lifters and got several different installed heights depending on the batch. So, I say measure, then buy.

Always measure the length after any valvetrain modification, it is just the right way to do it.
