GM claimed to have addressed the issue for the 2011 LS7 but there have been failures on engines built after their “fix” date. I don’t think it was ever resolved for the Corvette owners. I bought a C6 Z06 brand new, sold it with 30k miles a few years later. I kept in touch with the next owner who told me a couple of years into his ownership, the car dropped a valve and destroyed the motor. It also happened to a close buddy of mine during his leisurely commute to work, he said he was at an intersection making a left turn and the car just died. It’s not a cheap fix after it drops a valve!
I just wasn’t sure if there were any reported engine failures on the Z28 as so few were built.
