Default ID'ing LS6 sodium filled valves
Outside of measuring the height are there any other way's to ID the 243 LS6 sodium filled valves VS 243 valves from other applications.

Usually those valves have "yellowish paint" on the bottoms of the valve heads.

Valves are .0236" longer (to make up for the smaller base circle cam) and
the intakes are like 90 grams and the exhausts IIRC are 79.

They're much less than 90 grams. Standard LS1 valves are around that.

LS6 intake are mid 70's and the exhaust are mid 60's. Forget exact weights.
