C6 question

Question on 2006 Z06 cars
Other than the possible engine valve issue ( on the LS7) is there any thing else to be aware of on this model & year of the C6 ??

The only significant issue besides the valve issue that would concern me is the connecting rod wear issue. Do some research on this and you'll find some people have had issues and some not. Cost to repair if this happens is large!

Common issues: harmonic balancer, fuel pump cracking causing fuel smell, axle nuts coming loose. Manual 2006 cars have an issue where if you don't put them in reverse before shutting off the car it drains the battery.

Or maybe that is just on the 05
