Very loose valve guides.
These are off of a bone stock 2007 ZO6. It has 88K miles on it. I can't believe there's no window in the side of the block.
I want to make it clear that this is NOT my car, belongs to a friend. I have yet to even lay eyes on it. There was a small amount of confusion I want to clear up.
Mine only has 20K something on it and has LME heads.

Hahaha those are terrible!! Word of advice. Unless the intake valves look awesome which I doubt I'd seriously consider replacing them all. Once that coating is gone you're screwed.

Wow. Personally, that's the worst I've seen. Crazy.
It's funny...I have a 2000 Silverado that I bought new. It has the 5.3 and has 270K miles. Makes all kinds of racket when I start it after it's been sitting for a few days, but after about 45 seconds it sounds fine. I've often wondered how much play there is in those valve guides? Lol...
