Question PP heads Qs

In 15/12/2003(date of bill) I purchased a pair of PP ls6 style heads and left them in storage
Q1: And i now need to know what has changed in them since?

Q2:Will the valve springs need changing? Or were they changed to the gold type prior to buying them?
Q3:how would I recognize that type?
Q4:were the valve seals changed since then?
Sorry for all the Qs but PP has change a lot of stuff over a few years and I should have kept track of them but did not and going to change some stuff in the bottom end and hope to redline at 7200rpm so I need a engine that wont quit on me suddenly

Default call them, their customer service is great!

Call them.....I had some heads I bought a year ago and never installed due to my schedule, etc. I had the same concerns you do. I called them and they sent me a shipping box, I sent them the heads (they paid shipping), they checked them out free with the understanding that if they found a quality problem they would replace the heads free. They sent them back to me with new head gaskets and bolts (free). I know they had some problems over a year ago, but I can't complain about their service, talk to Gunnar, they have been tops with me!
