I have had the PCV mod (Campbell catch can version) installed for a year. Today I take off my manifold and find lots of oil all over the head ports and inside the manifold.

I have a 2000FRC with 30k miles.

I noticed something interesting about the PCV mod. It only filters out the oil from the left (drivers) side head. If you notice, your TB has two vacuum lines from the PCV system. The main black one on the bottom, and there is a silver line at the right top.

So I pull the hose that connects this right top vacuum line and it has a lot of oil in it. It connects to the right head. IF you also look at the head, it has TWO pcv venting lines. One that connects to the TB, and the other that connects to the left head. How strange???

So this is my question to all you tech people. I re did my PCV system. I connected my left head PCV vent to the bottom PCV line with the catch can using a "Y" connector, then connected the left head to the other o port of the "Y" connector. Capped off the top vacuum port on the TB, and capped off the extra PCV vent on the right head.

Will that work? My car consumes too much oil, now I know its not an oil ring problem, its the cheap butt PCV system!

 

It didnt work on my car either... so I went out and completely changed everything... :smash:

what did you change? I'd like to hear more about your design please.

 

LS6 blower motor, Heads, cam, Longtube headers, Supercharger, LS6 intake, One way PCV check valve... I think you get the Idea... and guess what?? No more oil in the PCV system!! :eek: :blueangel:

grr. that didn't help any :U

 

:lol: yeah, it is an expensive way to go (although rewarding) to stop the oil consumption... :hat

I actually took my oil mod off.

I didn't like how my car ran with it. Felt sluggish.

 

I saw this and thought it might be helpful. http://www.ls1howto.com/index.php?article=18 Good luck. :flag
BTW, if you need the coolant hoses and stuff also, you can get the stuff here cheap. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zerothread?id=684497

interesting. have you updated to the ls6 valley on your car?

 

Not yet. I'm waiting for the new FAST manifold to be released. I am planning on doing that when I swap the new manifold in.
