Is there a reason the intake guides are mostly the ones "out of spec." ? Could it be that they were assembled that way and it was not "wear" that caused the issue ? The exhaust guide specs seem...

Regarding postings here on the forum, we have not seen even one Z/28 head with the valve guides out of spec.. So, it seems the issue was fixed with the vette run as articulated by GM.

Always well. Use the Torque that comes in at 4K rpm.

Thanks !! , I just ordered the one for the 2015 Camaro that hooks up to the passenger side of the center console (console mount). That should work for me, since my hand is always on the stick.
