zo6 pcv system question
I should have already done but probably need to switch to the ls6 valley cover and pcv system as this stroker is using more oil than gas, would this help--I will put a catch can at the same time--currently my pcv is just the hose running from the block to the air bridge on the intake, how is this diff from the Z06--thanks bill

Re: zo6 pcv system question (NEPTUNEBILL)
I converted over to the LS6 PCV system after I pulled my supercharger and found it was coated in oil :crazy: the LS1 PCV system has a couple hoses that basically pull air from the back left valve cover and the suction comes from the intake manifold on the right side at the front (sorry I don't have any pics)
With the LS6 PCV the suction comes from the same place but it's pulled from the valley cover where there isn't as much oil misting, you'll still pick up some oil but probably about half as much and even less if you use a catch can.

Re: zo6 pcv system question (runamuk)
I pulled the intake off my 99 with just 32k on it. Oil literally dripped out if the manifold. I was installing the LS6 intake so I went with the LS6 cover and PCV also.
The only problem with the LS6 cover is that you have to cut a piece out of the block if you have an LS1 block. LS6 blocks do not have this problem.
