What if his roller lifter collapsed? I would check that out before pulling the head.
I have 4 LS7 lifters if you want them Joe if that is what it ends up being.

No damage to the piston wooo. They sure look ugly though.
I haven't got a chance to remove the valve because I forgot my spring compressor at home.
i also manage to break all the rear injector o-ring retainer things.
I'll post pictures when I get home.
soooooo you gonna miss the meet????
Sorry, my camera is a potato

Here's the suspected bad valve. It has a burn mark on it.
Also I cleaned the new head surface with a wire wheel. Did i **** up?

You might be OK, but I don't know. I've never taken a wire wheel to a gasket mating surface.
I saw a guy on youtube do it for a head gasket change on a 3800
Since I cannot see any visual damage on the lifters and valve should I check any thing else
put that valve in a drill, and spin it. you'll know asap if its got a bend or not.
the lifter could be jacked up too. maybe worth changing it while its open.
Car is running like complete ****. I have several codes. I think I ****ed up the wiring harness because the trans is whining.
Oh and that miss is still there when I give it quick throttle.
p0118- High coolant temp ; i broke the temp sensor
p0560- System voltage > 16; It was like 18-20v wtf
p1115- coolant temp sensor.
p1635 "5V Reference (B or 2) Circuit" ?
I also noticed the PCM isnt telling me its misfiring, but im pretty sure it is.
It idles very high until it warms up .
Then it takes a lot of gas to get it to move from a stop.
Okay I fixed all the codes. Its because the coolant temp sensor was smashed leaving only the three prongs left.
I connected its wire on the harness to the three spring wrong.
Anyway it still misses. All that work for nothing.
