Description of the problem | When i purchased the 2007 corvette z06, i was instructed to have the heads checked for excessive valve guide wear. I had the heads pulled and the valves examined by a local expert. He indicated that the valve guides were out of specification and needed replacement. I replaced these at my own expense of over $2000. 00. Had the engine blown up as a result of this defective condition, the breaks and power steering would fail causing an accident. I would like gm to issue a recall on this model corvette. |
