Z06 Valves: 02-04 I just read an interesting thread elsewhere by a respected Corvette tech who stated that GM had released information that they were getting rid of the hollow core lightweight Z06 valves and replacing with stainless steel due to bad valve train harmonics.
I also read elsewhere that a new set of Z06 heads (LS6) were coming from GM without the lightweight valves, which somewhat confirms this. Has anyone heard anything about this?

I'd like to see a reliable reference for that statement. "some forum thread" is not relibale enough for me.
None the less, this would be interesting as I planed on putting some light-weight Z06 valves in my new heads...

GM High Performance stated that the new Ls7 valves are titanium. Dito for the connecting rods...
