Default C6 "Heads"

Have just sold my C2 and am looking at the C6 as a replacement. A lot of the ads I've read mentioned "head/valve issues addressed" - what are they referring to ? - Thanks for your feedback - Brian

It is an issue unique to the LS7 powered cars. If you would be getting a base, Grand Sport or ZR1, you'd have nothing to worry about.

Edit: misread what you wrote. Sounds like you are looking at Z06 ads. Search the forum for LS7 valve issue and you will find a lot of information. The good news is if you've found cars that have it addressed, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Only an issue on the ZO6 cars like eckseleven said earlier.

EDIT: the after cat O2's are there only to check the status of the cat. They are not used for determining mixture.
