You'll read it and figure it out if your serious enough about it where it will or has affected you

Who the f*ck cares? If having stock valves scares you so much, then change them. Hell, while you're at it change the heads out for a MAST/Brodix/RHS/All-Pro.... you bought a z06, not a pinto.

Are they still debating this issue? The dropped exhaust valve was an issue back like 4 years ago. They still haven't figured it out? Wtf?

I think what it is now is that people are buying Z06 vettes used now that were never driven hard and tracking them. The issue didn't come up in cars that were just cruised around on the weekends.

I'm not reading thru 14 pages of some broads arguing about ls7 valves dropping. Most of those guys on CF are drama queens anyway.

Well I dropped a valve 2 weeks ago on my 2007 z06 and it had 16000 miles on it. Zero mods bone stock. Really glad I spent that kind of mony for nothing. The whole engine is junk. Cracked the block, took out both heads even the intake. Happend on the freeway and snapped the bolts to the flywheel clean off as well. What a POS! GM said its on me to replace it with a full crate motor but it will be discounted to 10,400 . Then labor. .....

how does a dropped valve destroy the head on the other side? Don't think we didn't notice you signed up today either....

The problem is they only drink the Katech cool aid and whatever Jason says is gold. He said there was no issue. They believed. He said there is an issue but not the valve. They bow. He says he is constipated and they send him exlax over night air freight! It's ridiculous....

Sorry to hear. I guess you didn't have this happen under GMs 5year/100k power train warranty. IF*** you decide to keep it, might as well build a engine the way ya want. Sorry for your luck.

I don't understand why this seems to be some kind of gotcha moment catching me in a lie. It's pretty much the same thing I've been saying on the forum for a while, just with the added comment about tuning cars on the limit and finishing them off. This comment was made before GM stated it was a machining issue in the heads. At that time we were searching for answers.

Man, just keep doing what you were doing. Let the haters keep drinking haterade.

Nobody understands that one person can't know everything.

I use to think the LS7 valve issue was with the addition of an after market cam only, now I believe is an "epic demic" or a demolition syndrome, else the block has at list a couple of sleeves that are trash in every one of them "too thin" and are quick to expose themselves as soon as you add power.
Another issue with GM is, you are on your own if you have any trouble with their high performance crate engines.

I did just sign up. It's been 6 years since I owned my 2003 Z06 and was a member. But divorce and life happens. Now as for the other head, I was going at a very good rate of speed and it tore the s... Out of everything. I can see the crank from under the valve cover. I will get some pictures. I believe it's a cement mixer now.

The extra weight will throw the balance of the car off. I road race not drag race.

I'm going with MTI. They said ss valves and a callies rotating assembly. 454 ci and 700+ hp. No titanium for me anymore. Im not going to have 2 ls7 coffee tables.
