100% wrong, since a set of WCCH heads in no way guarantees to prevent your engine from experiencing failure.
I paid 2000 for a warranty that covered a new set of factory heads, and it will cover it again if the problem arises again.
Just don't misinform people on how to deal with problems if you don't know the facts.
The fact is there is a flaw with something in the stock GM heads. So why continue to use them when there is a "fix" that has had zero failures?

Anything else, is not what is referred to in here as "The Fix".
There has been one report of valve failure in a car said to have had "The Fix" in here.
A case where a bent valve stem with an absent valve head, suggestive of piston to valve contact was pictured.
There has been no car in here with what is known as "The Fix", to show out of spec guides.

"The Fix" involved taking a set of stock LS7 cylinder heads, changing the guides to magnesium bronze, changing the exhaust valves to solid stemmed stainless, polishing the intake valves and using a suitable valve spring for the setup. That's it.

Actually there are but they get covered up, excused, or simply not spoken of. One member had a Rev exhaust valve go bad (didn't break), another had some excessive guide wear barely inside the service limit (wiggle test).

Of course you choose to ignore how badly worn his guides were with factory parts after roughly the same mileage, but I doubt you ever bothered to talk to him about that.

I don't think anything in a high hp application is fool proof but I think the number of WCCH problems is small enough to earn them the favorites choice at this time.
Is it absolutely the right choice......Who knows.
I am a belt and suspenders kind of guy and would probably change the rpm limiter in the tune to 6600 rpm, but than that is just me being conservative.

We have yet another story of a failed LS7, just today.

No need to argue with naysayers about what has and what has not worked.
And "The Fix", continues to work.

You know, when you listen to all of that talk against "The Fix" on the wake of all of the failed LS7s on here, it just makes you shake your head in amazement.

Not a shred of evidence of what caused the failure as described.
Are you Clairvoyant?
Continuation of intellectual dishonesty. You need to get off the forum 24/7 and drive your car more often..

You continue to engage in sophistry. How can you possibly make the connection in the failure discussed above and "The Fix"??

I wouldn't call it a hard job, just time consuming.
