2007 LS2 engines ?
Is there anything odd or weak about a LS2 engine ? Do they hold up well or last long ? Just wondering.
Thank you !

Thank you, I watch a YouTube video from a outfit, G&S Corvettes in Florida, and the guy Lyle said the LS2 was a engine that would become unbalanced in later life and higher mileage and self destruct ? I had a LS1 in my 2003 and other than a light piston slap when ice cold, it was a great smooth running engine ? In the C5 the LS2 was in the ZO6 !

At 160k+ miles, the only issues I've had were with the factory harmonic balancer wobbling and oil leaks. Balancer was changed towards the end of my warranty period. The valve cover gaskets started leaking around 75k-100k miles. In the last 5k miles or so I had the front seal, rear main seal, and oil pan gasket changed, all leaking.
