Default Are these Ls3 intake valves?

Or did I get sent the wrong ones. I ordered 2 ls3 intake valve from Scoggin Dickey and they came today, The box says #12569427. I bought the other 6 used off a member here who pulled them off a set of ls3 heads he had where the piston hit the head and messed 2 of the valves up.

New ones from sd



Used from here





And the L92's that I pulled




Shouldnt they look like the one on the right in this pic? Machined surfaces.



I dont have a scale to weigh them or I would have.

I weighed the new ones and a used one that I bought off the member here and they came out to 108-109 grams. Definately got sent the wrong ones several times.

The two new ones are definitely not the hollow stem LS3 but the L92 valves.

Yes Ive figured that out. Its strange that the 6 used ones I got turned out to be L92s and so were the 2 brand new from Scoggin Dickey. Doesnt anyone know what a LS3 hollow stem valve is? I have the part number correct and it even said Ls3 on the boxes the 2 new ones came in.

We found a few more misboxed from GM when we went to get your replacements (we checked them all to be sure you got the right ones this time).

Regardless, we found you the correct valves and they are on their way to you!

Thanks, I figured it was just a freak mix-up or something. Engine will be on the stand for a few more months so no harm no foul. Thanks for the prompt fix though!

LS3 valves have all surfaces machined.
