Put a Ford engine it !

Gm is trash. You can beat the piss out of coyote and wont have these problems. Im not bias either I own a c7 z51. Worst investment ever made. Its in the shop right now for lifter issue. Trash!!

What happened to the 'vette? What sort of engine did you decide to go with?

It's crazy to me that people are judging brands by historical ethos and brands are undervalued or overvalued based on that instead of actual performance. Hyundai, for example is still thought of as a cheap brand and people think my 2023 Elantra N is going to blow up any day but Honda will run flawlessly forever even though Honda is 15th in reliability and Hyundai is 10th in today's world. Every option has flaws and strengths and an enthusiast has to do their due diligence to learn about and maintain their cars. The LS7 is amazing, but an owner has to know what to do with it and take action or they will end up with expensive repairs and issues instead of a Porsche killing machine.

Are you planning on dry sumping the LS3?

Weak oil pressure ?

LSR

year 18 on my stock heads

The valve problem was in the 2006 ZO6 and corrected by G.M. Is this true ? Thanks.

At 7k miles my stock heads got bronze valves, Solid stem exhaust valves, trunioun upgrade kit. Car is at 17k miles now.

Replace it with a Ford Coyote

Maybe should have used 5W40 oil.

first i tough its pretty slow wtf after i saw mph and i like : WATTAFAAAAAAAK

Sorry to break the news to you but 270 degrees is to hot in more ways than one, rings are junk at 260! You have issues if you are running them temps. We have beat on dirt track cars in the summer heat for many laps and if they get over 220 in the worst conditions I would think that something is wrong. I also believe that there is a valve geometry problem with these engines and not necessarily a problem with the valves their selves.

this hurts to watch. Get some longer forks at least

!!!

Why did yall leave a huge gap between the load and the forklift mast, both times? If you're worried about it tipping, don't leave such a huge gap.

we heard about a ls swapped miata, but never about a 1.8 swapped corvette. take your conclusions (nah man seriusly i think you should stick out with the ls7)

Ever since 911 we All been under Attack from Satan & the Eletes that Own Everythg are Sabotageing Everythg on Purpose bc Demons in them tell them too & the Gov.the sameway ur Only Escape is Jesus bc its gunna get Way Worce b4 in 7yr Trib.

i have my own machine shop for hobby stuff and so far ive made about 20 valve and valve guide sets for friends and friends of friends who have ls7's and im proud to say my one friends z06 has not had a valve drop in 260000 miles which im my opinion says that its a %99 chance its the valve guides since he has now achived 390000 miles

“I thought I was safe because I had stock heads and never had a problem yet so I just waited until it became one” 😅😂 OOF. That hurt the wallet.

My 05 c6 has magnetic ride control, havent heard or seen many with it, is that a uncommon option or?

You guys simply don't freaking understand what is going on here. There is NO issue in this motor... zero.. you drop a valve you failed to maintain it. PERIOD... the maintenance is... 20,000 you take the freaking heads out replace all the guides. It's a RACE MOTOR. PERIOD.. want the motor.. pay to play. Don't want it? drop a junkyard 5.3 and call it a day.

30psi oil pressure at WOT 5600rpms!!!

What i discovered was "from the factory" the air filter was not installed properly. There is a wrong Way to install the filter. The wrong way allows the dust in . I notice at my exhaust tips there was dirt, dusty small pepples and grit. Thinking it was coming from the road. Its not . Check it out. The dust and dirt is sandblasting your intake valves on the way in, and exhaust on the way out.

... and that's a stock 2002? Z06? Man who needs a ZR1. That is FAST!

You do know that if it says 160 on the dash are not actually going 160 right

Thank you, very helpful.

What about launch control? Have you ever use that? And if so, what about dragracing

My civic would smoke this shitbox.

Im a GM guy. Love my Duramax. But I had to shell out $6000 Cad to have my Z06 heads done, to which is a factory flaw/recall issue. Everyone knows the exhaust valves are running on guide time failure, and LS7 grenade. GM disgrace!

That 60-90 🤩

So is a 6.2 iron block with ls3 heads better than a 7.0l ls7? Thank you in advance

Ls7 is $18,000 now 😂 the lsx 454 is cheaper

Lot of work for a Lego piece.

Did he just basically hit 60 in first gear😂

Get another LS7!! The Z06 must have the 427. Its just a legend!

OSHA Doesn't have jurisdiction over business owners... Just employees...

The intro just took me back to ME 212.

That's so smooth

Funny to think that these corvette were basically GM parts bin but packed with enough power to go to the moon.

Consent no consent machine?

Tadge led the z06 astray. Tadge turned the Z06 into a heavy GT cruiser. GM has no clue what iteration means and keeps trying to reinvent the wheel with every model. The C8 Z should have a modernized LS7 and 500 less pounds. The LS is GMs identity. Not the Ferrari wannabe LT6.

Nobody going to mention the ambulance? Ok, cool.

1st gear goes to 55mph. The clutch must love how tall that gear is

Holy crap you did it. Guy with the fork lift incredible job.

O M G

Was that in 4th gear when it hit 160 mph??

New comment but after seeing this I tried it on my c6 with traction off then competitive and gotta say it can get scary if you are not careful and help skid the car back straight but it was fun and never doing that again unless it’s a big open area 😂😅

Watched up to the point of 20 track events. As an automotive machinist I'm dumbfounded that you would track a car with that many miles and not go through the engine. What could have been new guides, spings and rings has turned onto a failure that you are laying at the feet of GM. Stay away from the track if you have zero idea what goes into track days. After a maximum of 5 track events I'm pulling the engine apart. No way i would expect an engine to survive 70k miles and all those track days.
