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

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