Stock bore, just the gpi drop ins. No balancing. No head work.

The head work part bothers me a little being that I dropped an exhaust valve on the 6.2. I looked into getting them done and every route seemed to add up to a lot of money. I am pretty sure the 5.3 does not have hollow stem exhaust valves. That seems like it should help.

Does anyone know if the 5.3’s in stock trucks have a history of dropping valves? I have heard it isn’t uncommon in the newer trucks but was thinking that was for the 6.2 motor.
