In 2020, Lingenfelter Performance Engineering charged me $1800 for a CNC port, install new valve guides, competition valve job, new GM LS7 exhaust valves, and new springs. Shipping was extra. Just get a competent machine shop to knock out the guides, hone the new ones to 0.0015-0.0018” stem to guide clearance and bolt them back on. Problem solved. Guess what? You can’t buy a Chevrolet Performance LS7 block or complete engine anymore so don’t take a chance with dropping a valve. You don’t want to be that sucker driving around a Z06 with a 5.3 or 6.2 block in it because you didn’t get the damn heads fixed.

More than enough power N/A to have a ton of fun with an already stout package that needs very little. Congrats on the new ride.

Replace with good aftermarket heads! You can "fix" the factory heads, but I've still seen those fail as well many times. The safest way to address them is go aftermarket heads IMO.

Just got done going down the battery drain issue. Fix was pulling the onstar fuse and a dc power alternator and a new agm battery
@ssoffshore5111
@ssoffshore5111 3 ай бұрын
I never thought of pulling the Onstar fuse to help with the battery drain issue on these cars. Mine historically was always questionable after sitting for 10-14 days MAX. It never occurred to me the Onstar is possibly the big draw. I'll have to figure out what fuse that is and see if it helps. One big upgrade I made this year was the battery, and it was a cheap one at that! I took my old battery out (3 years and it was toast after being charged up and down so many times) and brought it down to Walmart to grab a replacement. While I was there, I noticed another "MAX" battery on the shelf that was the same size, but about 3/4"-1" taller, although it had an additional 200 cca. It was even a little cheaper. Since putting that battery in, I have not had a single issue starting the car, even after a couple of weeks, and not one "slow" start when the engine is heat soaked. Total game changer!!! The only two negatives was the terminals were on the other side (but the cables still reached), and the factory hold-down no longer fit. While it would be possible to fab up a new hold-down, I didn't bother yet as the battery is obviously very secure in the factory location, and the cables would prevent it from falling out if it the car were upside down... and honestly, I'd already have big issues if that were the case anyway, lol! Oh, and the battery "flap" still closes with the taller battery, although it's close. But that change has been such a huge improvement over the factory size batteries I've always used, regardless of brand or price! I'll definitely look into finding the OS fuse if that helps the sitting drain issue also!

The heads on the LS7 Z06 have a fatal flaw from factory. I'm sure your aware of this issue? Many upon many dropped valves reported on this engine. Hope it doesn't give you an issue. That is why I passed on the C6 LS7 and I am very happy with my C6 LS3.
