I’ve had dozens of these valves in my hands and I suppose I’ve never weighed one…nothing in my notes at all.

I didn't weigh mine but I found another post saying the LY6 exhaust valves weighed 91g. https://ls1tech.com/forums/forced-in...-lsa-head.html

Am I correct in that if only the tip of the exhaust valve is magnetic (rest of the valve non magnetic) and it weighs 90g and came out of a set of heads stamped 823, then it is for certain an inconel 12612427 and NOT a solid stainless 12627970 / other non inconel exhaust valve? Not sure what block the heads came off of.
