Valve/head repair and parts recommendations
I thought I had asked this on here already but I guess not...
I was curious about the valve/head repair. I know its not necessary for all LS7s, at least if the head manufacturer's machine was at fault as GM claims, but I kind of want to tighten things up in there just to play it safe, as this is both my toy and my daily driver. So, I'm curious what I actually need for that. I found a "kit" with the parts on the katech site (but not sure if its overkill), but it is 5k, which seems extremely high, given that I can get a new set of heads for half that price or less. Will the parts alone to correct that really run that high in cost? If so, then will just swapping the heads (with aftermarket for example) take care of the problem?
Side note:
Looking for head and cam recommendations. This will still be my daily, so drivability and reliability is a must...looking for the biggest bang for my buck. I've got 6 kids so may piecemeal this together as well over time.
Overall my plan is:
1. LTs/headers
2. Ported intake manifold (MSD or LSX)
3. Heads
4. Cam
5. Larger throttle body
