Check out the exhaust valves on my PRC heads...
Well i got my LQ9 swapped in this weekend, and i was thinking about putting my PRC heads on it later, but when i had the 4.8 on the stand i looked at the exhaust valves, they are white and crusty... All of them look like that and all the spark plugs were white too. Tell me this is not normal...

I hope an engine builder chimes in here as I am all ears on this one.

Looks pretty much like what I saw on my 5.3, never worried much about it and nothing has melted down yet. Never been lean either and about all I can get is 93 octane with a 10% methanol.

My Radix'd 6.0L looked almost like that when I pulled it. I took some acetone and tried to wipe the valve stems off however the color didn't change. I did not run lean at WOT however did run a 50/50 methanol mix with pump 93 (usually a 10% ethanol blend) and the rare occasion of C16 for the track.
