Z06 valve manufacturer
In response to erick_e thread (New LS7 valve guides measured - results inside), I googled edival/valve/gm. The company that makes the valves for the Z06 and possibly many other parts for the engine in the Z06 and i'm sure other model of cars/trucks that GM makes is called MAHLE. They are a South Amercan company loacted in Brazil. This is directly from their website "MAHLE supplies the major worthy assemblies, such as Volkswagen, Audi, BMW, John Deere, Porsche, Opel, Toyota, Ford, General Motors, Daimler Chrysler, Fiat, Renault, Peugeot, MWM, Cummins, Scania, Volvo, International, Caterpillar and Perkins, among others, and 50% of its production is exported to assembly plants in the USA and Europe". Their website is http://www.mahle.com.br/MAHLE_South_...-South-America.

Edival is a company that was purchased by MAHLE in 2007.
The MAHLE company's roots can be traced back to Germany circa 1920 (Dr. Ernst Mahle). They are currently worldwide with 49,000 employees and $8 billion in sales; they are headquartered in Germany.

They have purchased or invested heavily in major US automotive intrests. You should read it's time line, it's pretty interesting if you want to know who owns what when buy 'US made' products on the auotmotive side.
