Valve Seat Technology Has Changed
GM is equipping the LS3 heads with high tech sintered copper-infiltrated valve seats. This is a powder metal valve seat with a copper wafer that is infiltrated into the valve seat. This allows heat to be quickly transferred. Dura-Bond has developed this technology and it is now available for the aftermarket in its “Killer Bee” valve seat line. It is initially offered for the GM LS-Series engines with more applications to come. Also available: LS-Series Cam Bearings (CH-10, CH-23 and CH-25).
