You don't have to say anything, I can read your mind

If my heads are ready I will go down there with my camera.

Can I tell everyone that I have 2011 heads with good geometry and stock rockers for sale next month. Plus I will deliver them to WCCH to save buyer shipping costs.

25K miles on Ferrea Super Alloys is going to put you either at or near the top.

How many years have you had them?

Thanks.

If you ever decide to service the heads for more preventative maintenance (or simple curiosity) - please post a new thread with the results of guide clearance, etc - as many of us look forward to your findings for consideration. As Quicksilver noted, your close to the top of the "high mile" solid stem club (at 25K miles) and I'd hate to have your experiences looked over.

Wow Chad, you got up there pretty quickly. A little more than a year, right?

Hey, there's a familiar name! I haven't seen you post much so I assumed you were gone again. Welcome back.

I'll go ahead and note it when the date rolls around. Good luck and you're making a good move.

As it stands now, there are 134 people in here whom I could find running these setups, and I made a listing.

There are two more, Dirty Howie and SS MPSTR, who will be added to that list of forum members running stainless steel valves in the upcoming days.

I will be honest with you, I never expected that there were so many.

I've been on the Ferrea Racing Components web site looking at its Super Alloy exhaust valves for LS7 but the data on Ferrea's site does not give the mass of that valve.

Since several here have used them, do you know what they weigh?

WCCH LS7 Cylinder Heads (Titanium Intake Valves, Stainless Steel Exhaust Valves, Bronze Valve Guides, Heads milled 0.004") since Dec 10, 2012.

My original heads from my 08 with 26.5K miles were sent to WCCH and the valve guides were found to be 2x the GM tolerance.

You might try either contacting Ferrea or Randy@RaginRacin.

Randy@RaginRacin has used the Ferrea Superalloy F1598P in some of their builds.

They are the Super Alloy Valves. Check them out.
