Used Z06 heads
Is there any distinguishing marks on the lightweight valves that came with the Z06 heads. I have been keeping my open for a set of used heads, and with the newer ones coming with different valves is there a way to ensure the are the real deal?

I have a brand new set off a crate motor sitting at the Vette Doctors. Never run a second.

Yes, but the newer heads with the stainless valves are also a 243 casting. Its the valves that make them worth the money.

Pull a valve and weigh it.

Those who ask about the heads I will have to delay a day as the Vette Doctors don't seem to be open today so I can't get my car or heads.
They must be union down there.
Closed for the holiday
