A member of my club had it happen to him, with about the same year/mileage car as yours. GM paid half of new engine for him, even though he was "out" of warrantee. Good luck.

I wouldn't touch an ls7 without done heads or a warranty.

Good luck.
What do you mean by "done heads"? What would prevent this specifically?

Thanks..

At least new guides, new machine work, and valve/springs for your application. That could be hollow, solid, inconel, dual, beehive, larger OD, etc. Along with the appropriate rockers/pushrods/etc for your setup.

Stock? If not, let us know what the mods are. Is Katech reselling it?

Nope. If somebody wants to pay extra to do that I gladly will, but not on my dime.
