I'll bet Scott's enjoying reading the 367+ posts. He knows the faithful are still strong.

No, GM has the issues worked out. It was always a very small amount of cars affected. Originally Posted by Chevy Cust Svc Hello all, LS7 Valve guide issue summary: Affects a small, number of '08, 09 10 and 11 Z06s GM discovered the condition through our cylinder head warranty data involving a very small percentage of our vehicles. Through inspection of returned heads, it was determined that a machining error in the valve guide had occurred at our head supplier. The quality issue has been contained as of Feb 2011 with 100% inspection of all heads. The most common customer complaint has been excessive valve train noise. However if the condition is not addressed, it could result in engine failure. To date, where this condition has been observed, it has occurred early in the vehicle life. What customers need to know: They should drive and enjoy their vehicles without fear. If their car demonstrates this condition, they are likely to hear unusual valvetrain noise first. If you have a concern regarding this issue on your personal vehicle feel free to contact me through private message on this forum and we will work to assist in resolving your concern. Feel free to contact me through Socialmedia@gm.com please put attention Evan in the subject. As always, vehicles that have modifications to the powertrain or the calibrations, are no longer covered by GM's warranty. Sincerely, Evan, Chevrolet Customer Service From here : http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c6-z...confirmed.html

I wonder how much faster a stock LS7 would be compared to a stock LS3 in a straight line? There have been many that have put modified LS7's in their cars. Has anyone put in a crate LS7 and ran it? Just curious because with the weight of these cars I'm wondering how much of a difference you would feel?

I just wanted to suggest you do a search for Nurburgring and ZL1. Better yet, here's a link. That is all.

And GM has not figured out a way to evaluate or fix the existing bad ones until the motor blows up..... To think you could evaluate valvetrain wear by listening to the degree of loudness of the valve train ticking noise is a bit far fetched. Last edited by Inferno; 12-22-2012 at 09:11 AM. |

you have 100K miles or 5 years. They will handle it! GM is NOT Ford. They admit to their mistakes and own up and fix it. Try having a 5 point slow with a Chinese trans that 2nd/3rd gear grinds with no recall! The synchros eventually sh*t themselves and you only have 1st 5th and 6th.

I hear valvetrain noise all the time in my LS3. Is it excessively noisy...I don't think so....but if someone told me the LS3s have a problem with valvetrain....I might get a little paranoid and think my valvetrain noise is louder than usual. see what I'm sayin?

See now this is a problem in my opinion for people with 2010's. It's the first model year of the 5th gen and especially if you plan on sticking with the camaro like I do since I paid mine cash its really tough to want to trade it in because of the history that goes along with it. Then you also know that there is always going to be improvements every year with something better and something someone wants so and it's really not practical to switch it up every couple years unless you have money to burn. So I guess I will probably be keeping my 2010 and once the last model year comes around with all the bells and whistles of previous improvements maybe I will splurge and buy that one too. Just my .02
