Ls7 Issues with dropping valves? Just picked up a ls7 and I've been hearing alot lately about them dropping valves? Anyone else heard about this? Would a better set of springs help out?

Seen it happen. Hardened cap came off of the valve tip, titanium wore away, and voila....
**Notice in this pic that the valve is open...it's actually stuck that way**
Cap was found in the lifter retainer tray and the lifter's c-clip was in the oil pan.

For that cap to get out......a little valve float/valvetrain seperation?
And are they stock springs?
