What years should you be concerned about the valves

All years. If it has an LS7, the heads should be pulled and a proper valve job should be conducted with new guides.

For those years, he should also read about bearing issues. Good luck!

Do you do all of your buddy's internet research? Well that sucks for him. Because you're terrible at it.

OP.......... tough crowd here........... Tell him to get the best he can, make sure the warrantee is transferred (extended too), and then just drive it and enjoy it.

Every year LS7 has the potential to have the valve guide problem and the 2013's have the added issue of the bearing surfaces.

You can do a google image search. I did a while back but I've forgotten her name as I'm not currently banging her. But you are 100% right. She is smokin hot and then some.
