Randy Stone Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 For those C6 Z06 owners, who have you used to check the valve guide wear on your LS7 heads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe@cpr.com Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 we do, however i'm not the biggest fan of this test. Lets say you're all good now, how often do you recheck to make sure you're still good. Personally I would just save up and fix them properly (we use wcch heads) it's something i tell customers to just always budget for if purchasing an ls7 car.

How do they compare to the factory heads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fixed heads entail us having west coast cylinder head replace the guides, replace the OEM two piece exhaust valve with a solid stainless, tumble polish the titanium intake, and they port them along with install new BTR dual valve springs. This combo is extremely solid and I have it on our heads/cam packages with zero issues. This same setup is what I have been doing for 8 years and I have never once had a C6Z drop a valve, or come back with bad guides again. Depending on mileage of the car and if you do the porting or not as you can simply just get them fixed, it ranges from 3k-4300 if you need to replace the lifters, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
