Default ? About swapping Valves

Might have bent a Valve on head,symptom it has been having this light tapping noise for awhile.Im pretty sure its a bent valve or a faulty lifter.Is there any special procedure in replacing the valves?I would like to install Ls6 Valves but was uncertain if its a straight swap.

You could do a compression test to see if it is a bent valve,should be way off.I believe you can swap in the ls6 valves but have heard some say they are longer,I"m not sure?

They are and require a shorter p-rod (7.35) with an LS1 cam.

Thumbs up

Shorter P-rod,but does it require any machine work to the head or is it a straight out replace swap?
