06, 19,000 miles, never checked, no problems and no strange noises. I have no plans to check. I'm just driving it and enjoying it. Maybe ignorance is bliss :D

I have an 08 with 38000 (of which I have done 23000) and have experienced no problems or unusual noises

2008 Z06 32K miles lookinggood!
 
Other than a ticking noise at around 1500 rpms My Z06 is perfroming well with no issues at 32K miles.

2006 with 76,000. Not checked and no funny noises.

jimman 12-23-2013 02:04 PM

An 07 with 182,000, damn flawed design.:willy::willy:

Rupert pupkin 12-23-2013 02:39 PM

WOW!! 182k miles!^^^^ No issues? No repair?^^^^

07 28k miles/bought with 27k. 2nd owner. Checked all the possible service records through GM, and no maintenance done. No noise no nothing.

Now that I voted..somethings going to happen. FAAAAAAK!! :(

That's like asking, 'How you doing', just before getting into a firefight. Ask me again tomorrow.

I can understand the position because its EXACTLY how I feel about the SS modification that we are being told has "no issues". However without proof of inspection and proving no wear issues it is impossible to say they have no issue or are "fixed".

argumentum ad ignorantiam

The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. If we can say that about the SS modification we can say it about cars that have no issue but have not inspected.


:cheers:

At what point on the odometer would you agree that some of us just are not going to have an issue?( 40K,65K,100K?) I tend to agree with someone earlier that stated he does not get into it until his oil temp reaches 150*. I firmly believe that this one adjustment to driving a DD something else that makes a big difference with our Z's.

I remember reading that members post and have followed the same practice since I purchased my C6Z. It's only driven once a week and sometimes more depending on my work schedule.

Temps play a huge roll I agree. I bet if you were to correlate the failures and where the cars were driven more failures come from colder climates. I can drive 25 miles and still not be at full temp in the NE. I have watched endless people cold start and redline bouncing off the limiter while roasting the tires out of a parking lot way too many times. That cant be good for the valve train.


In my opinion I would say if you get to 30-40K of measured guide miles with no issues of out of spec or close to out of spec wear you got yourself a good one.

08redz06 12-23-2013 10:49 PM

08 17500 no problem this poll went to h&ll in a hurry.

LawrenceFromTorrance 12-25-2013 03:12 PM

I don't get this thread or the other one

It's like asking people to vote if they like Obama Care and not to vote if they don't like Obama Care and sure enough 100% like Obama Care or they don't know yet.

Shouldn't a valid thread have:

If your car's motor is stock and you have (or have not) measured your valves (or your engine has blown up with valves the issue)
1) Have you had your valves checked Yes No
1) If you have measured, are your valves out of spec Yes No
2) Has your engine blown up Yes No

Doesn't this seem more useful?

erikszr1 12-25-2013 03:54 PM

Yes

matam 12-25-2013 05:12 PM

06 is stock no problems 60,300 miles

mittens 12-26-2013 12:41 AM

This pole is only counted cars still working. the ones who checked and still working and the cars not checked and still working.

it does not count the cars thats failed.


What you need is a pole to get numbers.

My LS7 dropped a valve @ what mileage
Mine Has not @ what mileage.

Then you would see relative % of failer LS7 owners on here.
