Full disclosure, all parts came out of my 2011 Camaro SS LS3. I had a valve spring failure on the number one intake valve that floated the valve into the piston. That piston is toast as is the cylinder head from that side. The engine never lost oil pressure (I was data logging the time so I know this to be fact). The engine had 9900 miles on it at the failure and had no less than 4 oil changes in that time. I only ran Mobil 1 5W30 full synthetic and I had the rev limiter set to 6350 so aside from the spring failure everything was extremely well taken care of. You can see some of the #1 piston did migrate through the intake to the other cylinders.
The valve seats should be checked, the bearing surfaces on the crankshaft look good visually and you can't snag a nail on anything.
A little video from before the spring failure.
So if you are doing a stock or mild rebuild, these parts will save you some money. I might load pics later but if you want to see something specific let me know. Thanks.
