Default Does the LS3 Have a PCV Valve?

We used to change them on the LS1, and people put catch cans on the LS3. But I can't find any references, here or in the Service Manual, to an actual PCV Valve.

What am I missing?

Got it, thanks!



(Summary- no PCV Valve, just a fixed orfice in the line with no moving parts. Nothing to service/replace.)
