07 z06 head issue?
Since I have an 07, can I be affected by the valve guide issues going on? I saw the post up top and it says 08-11. Just making sure that I dont have anything to worry about!

Yes you can.

Can be a problem will all heads including after Feb 2011 when GM said they were doing 100% inspection but newer replacements have failed (guides out of spec) in as little as 400 miles.

I'm looking to buy a used 06-07 Z06 and no matter what the 1st thing I've planed is a new set of heads. I cant see taking the chance.

my advice to z06 buyers would be to get a stock z06 with remaining warranty and then extend the warranty until the engine mess gets figured out.

Regardless what year or mileage park it untill heads are fixed or in my case at 7000 mi. upgraded to mast heads. New ls7s are $14000 my heads were around 3000. but there are much cheaper fixes.
