Wrong Pushrods... So i pulled the driver side head from my Envoy last night because the head gasket blew out. As i pulled the pushrods out I reallized they are all 7.350". I ordered 7.400" pushrods from Texas Speed and they must have accidently sent me 7.350". Unfortunatly I purchased them 3 months and have been in the motor since. When i received them i assumed they were the right ones and installed them.
The 799 heads are stock and have never been milled. I was wondering if i should just get the heads milled enough so i can keep the 7.350" pushrods.
The driver side head might have to get milled just a couple thousands anyway to clean them up (if they arent warped). The engine is a '06 LH6 with DOD removed/replaced with LS7 lifters. Its basically a 4th gen, 5.3l aluminum block with flat pistons and 799 heads (similar to 243's). I think the compression is between 9.7 - 10.2 not sure.
Any help is appreciated!

PM me your name and let me look up your order. If we sent you the wrong ones I would like to know about it. Email me a picture of them if you can and we'll see if we can get you fixed up! If they are wrong, we'll make it right!

From my first MS3 cam in 2005 to the parts I last ordered for my Envoy, and everything in between, Ive received nothing but excellent service. I wasnt expecting a response from Texas Speed but even then I would still say "Don't Mess With Texas!"-Speed 
Here is the cylinder head when I pulled it off yesterday. I took it to a machine shop and it may just need to be resurfaced to clean them. Gonna have the valves checked out too...
