Do any members know of a reputable shop in central Florida or surrounding area to get the Z06 head problems addressed?
I want to get the guides and valves replaced.

We could ship our stage 1 LS7 heads down with all parts required for install if you had someone to do the swap. Generally see 15rwhp without tuning and more with tuning with an otherwise stock Z06. We have alot of guys go this route that want to fix the issues but not looking to go all in on a H/C/intake setup.

Thank you for the info. I will call you today to discuss going this route.

Josh, Matt, or whomever else this might be... I'm just curious what parts you include with the heads? For the stage 1 what work is done to the heads?

Here is the work done in our stage 1 LS7 heads.

-Si Stainless steel hollow exhaust valves
-Inspect and tumble polish intake valves
-16 Bronze valve guides
-TSP dual spring kit with titanium retainers
-Resurfacing cylinder heads(amount tailored to setup)
-Performance valve job
-Machining and assembling heads

So do you use the stock push rods when re-assembling? I'm asking because I went with the A.I. 280 heads and re-used the stock push rods as instructed by the shop I purchased the heads from but now I am wondering if I should have measured for push rod length. Either way I am replacing with hardened push rods so I will measure at that time. I was just seeing if I could get some confirmation that the stock push rod length was actually ok to use as I was originally told.

Depends on milling. If the stock 7.8" pushrod measures the proper preload we reuse them. If not we replace with proper length. The factory LS7 pushrods are 3/8" and very strong, unlike the factory 5/16 in the ls1/ls2/ls3.. cars.

Measure preload and let us know what you need. We have most lengths on the shelf if you want to pick a set up.
