This is great keep rolling in the info. I’m going to post a second query follow up question.

If you don't mind, if you've had your valve guides repaired can you follow the link below and leave a comment. Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

No, I don't believe so. The original 1st set of heads had defective valve guides at 40,000 miles. The second set of heads were replacements from GM and they also had defective guides at 60,000 miles. Imagine my surprise. The 3rd set of heads are AHP stage 4 with new springs, street porting and MS90 guides. I don't think the 35 tracks days were the problem with the heads, I think it was defective heads from GM. By the way, thank you GMPP.

I would like to give my condolences to the bird that got stuck in my grill during the Silver State Classic Challenge.

Unfortunately he/she didn't make it.
