I'd heard that GM gave the Corvette Forum mods a "free pass" on the exhaust valve drop problem. Sux to be us...

Good luck
I'm at 98k+ miles, that must mean I'm playing with napalm.

Yes I know I watched your build on the z06 when you first got it, like a surgeon at work.....

Same here with same year and miles! and I drive it pretty hard also. I'm sure there will be people telling me my time will come.

Maybe, maybe not. Doesn't change the fact that a lot of people have issues, and that your car making it to 10, 20k, 30k,60k means anything about their car. I'm really happy some people don't or haven't yet had this issue, doesn't really help the people who do.

I've checked 15 cars and 1 had guides in spec. I personally know 4 people who dropped valves losing their whole motor and costing $10k+. Doesn't help them.

Has anybody read the 1st sticky in this forum?
" If a car makes it through even a fraction of the 100k mile warranty, it is built properly and will have a complete service life." and it goes on to say(and I quote again)" The Z06 is a street car, not a race car and if you drive it as such, you have to prep it as such". I'm sure a lot of people have had issues but these engines are not pieces of crap that some people make them out to be and nobody out side of this forum has ever heard anything about this.
So flame on!
