Default Heads Question.

Over the weekend I had a chance to visit one of our sponsered vendors and talked to them for a bit they told me since we have 243 head we have complete Z06 head wit sodium filled and hollow valves and yellow springs? As far as I knew they were regular valves and ls1 springs, nothing to special. Any body got any info on this?

This doesn't answer your question, and they don't show the RPO for the LS4 but thought you may get something out of it.

LS6 blue's are good for .500 lift and yellow's are good for .550 lift.
(or so, some say) I think the blues were used on LS1's too.

We just have the plain jane valves. Nothing fancy.
They are not sodium filled and they are not SS. Wishfull thinking.. lol
