Hi mate,

If it was worked then I would be all good as it would be my fault, but this thing is totally stock with 50,000 km's so I'm shocked , I was reading up and guys from GM posted that they had head issues..

I just want to know how to rectify

Thanks

Ah that's a worry! I was looking at a z06 but all of the engine stuff has put me off so going to get a ZR1 instead.

Good thing about the ls7 is just about anything you upgrade with, especially cam, just piles horsepower on. Doesnt take much at all to make those things near untouchable beasts.
