If you trust this guy http://www.quicksilvertrucks.com/for...read.php?t=216

Valve Material: Stainless Steel, Hollow Stems, Na filled Exhaust

The LS1/LS6/LS3 heads have the hollow/sodium filled valves. The LS2 heads use an 8mm solid valve on both sides.

Thanks Guys and great to hear from you again Bob.Trust all is well.

The LS6 & LS3 had/have the hollow stem sodiums, the LS1 did not. The LS6 & LS2 heads are extremely simular castings, the only difference being the sodium valving in the LS6 heads, with "yellow" valve springs, which simply denotes seat pressure.

7K rpms with the right combo. I would use the L92s on larger bore motors like a 383 or 402 or bigger.
