243 heads are they the same all years? Hey guys are 243 heads, are they the same on all years...The reason I ask is because my 08 Avalanche has them on a 5.3 engine, are they the same? thanks.

no i saw a post from some1 saying if there a V mark above one of the exhaust ports its the better "revised" casting. being a 08 you should be well within this margin.
while you don't have the lighter valves they don't make much difference on a stock 5.3 or LS1 setup. but can be easily installed

thanks for the input...so a 243 is a 243 all the time. except for the light with valves in the ls6 243 heads. but the years makes no different in the camber size?

They say the ones w/ the triangle under the spark plug hole are good for 6-10 hp more because they are semi-permament mold casting but i have seen that same triangle on 241's also.
