The last report showed a large increase in titanium! Pulled the heads and popped a valve spring to find intake valve ready fall out. All 16 had hard wear due to faulty valve guides. Better the way then out on the road at speed. And GMPP could not argue, paid full repairs, $7k thank God for Blackstone Labs, this could have been real bad. All Z06 427’s need oil tested for ever.
