LS2 PCV System Description
Can someone please provide a description of the LS2s PCV system, and maybe a few pixs of the setup on the car if possible?
Was wondering if the LS2 could benefit from a PCV oil catch can, and if the front end of the RH engine head is open and has threaded holes in it like the LS1/LS6 for a catch can location. Pixs of this area would be highly benifical also.
If so, there will be an awesome oil vapor catch can available soon from one of the forum vendors that could be used on the LS2 .
Thanks!

From what I've been reading, it sounds like there is no PCV valve in the LS2 system, but there is a 2.5 mm diameter orifice built into the valley cover metal tube that comes out the valley cover assembly. Is that correct? If so, adding an oil catch can is an easy fix to the excessive oil issue.
