As requested, here is the official information on the factory Evaporative Emission Canister for the Z06 (LT4). There are around 25 pages in total, but these identify the main components (front and rear):

That looks like the charcoal canister for the fuel tank, there is one on my 2014 C7 that's exactly the same.....as well as every US spec vehicle since what.....the 80s? 70s?

tblu92 is right (gives me the chills to say that) and 3 Z06ZR1 is wrong once again for the umpteenth time.

3Z is the classic END USER who loves to tell the programmer how the machine works (and is wrong). Super annoying.

Higgs, I assumed the same until this was listed after the canister purge valve on the intake manifold neck.

Not sure what to think about this after looking at the piping back and forth from the front to rear cavities. For what it's worth, this sits under the same heading as the manifold and TB do, and was listed as specific to the LT4 (which could arguably be incorrect as they divide up sections quite often).

I'll defer to you on interpreting that, though. Just wanted to follow through on the request to eliminate (or perhaps incite more) confusion.

Better check again since your wrong again! I just asked Theta for pictures of what he was describing not me!
If being wrong is irritating to you. How's the song go "I don't want be right"! Your wrong that in about a stock ls motor. It does not need a Band aid for a crap engine that's called a catch can.
too bad about the Lt1. It needs one

just looks like it's on the driver side (Z06) vs passenger side (C7) of the intake manifold so maybe that's why it lists it specific. I have a Z06 at work, if it is still there I will pop the hood tomorrow.

I'm tempted to agree with you, as I believe I've popped the hoses on and off of that thing a dozen times on the passenger side, and it has an O-ring holding it in.

They (ACD) list all PCV and fuel components in the same category, which makes it really hard to distinguish what's what in there. They refer to the tube(s) running from that solenoid as PCV lines - hence my assumption.

Odd that the search only pops it for the LT4, but they've superseded a lot of the 2015 LT1 data with the 2015 LT4 where applicable (to cut down on the silly amount of clutter in those sections).

More tempting is the info in 2016 section, but it's blocked for now.

I wasn't talking about the canister, I was talking about you knowing NOTHING about LS engines.

Yes, the LS motors were notorious for needing oil control and having crappy PCV systems. The LS6 tried to alleviate issues with the LS1 system with a new valley tray. I doubt you even know what a valley tray is. The LS2 and LS3 were no better.

Now, regarding your experience with the LTx motor, YOUR motor had oil control issues because your A&A supercharger install was WRONG and gave you problems and eventually you corrected the lines. Plenty of people, myself included have zero PCV issues with their LT1s.

To base 30, 40, 50, 60 thousand cars on YOUR modified, supercharged, effed up experience just illustrates your ignorance. Turn off your computer and call up some friends to play some parcheesi because you dont belong in the technical section of a car forum.

Take this to heart......Ownership does not equal experience. Ownership does not equal wisdom. You love to say how many Corvettes you have owned. No one will take that away from you, congratulations. But you still have no clue about how what you love to drive works. Go drive it and enjoy it. Just stop talking about it. You are embarrassing yourself and annoying everyone else. If you question that, ask yourself, why doesn't anyone ever come to your side to support your case(s)? Because youre wrong and they don't need to repeat it.

Yup... we just changed a coworkers evap canister and solenoid valve on his early 2000's Silverado a week ago. Same setup.

EDIT: I'll bet if you look at your (new, right?) Silverado's setup, it uses the exact same part number canister and solenoid valve as the C7.

I have about 18k miles on my C7 Z51 Manual with nothing more than intake/header/xpipe/exhaust and I have had zero issue with oil consumption there was a minute amount of film on the backside of the TB when I did an oil change at 15k miles. I can't comment on everyone else's experience but from a neutral party, my LT1 is running like a champ.

You never see a thread like this about a stock Ls engine.
Oil issues BIGTIME! Tell me Higgs more about the poor install on my car caused it issues?

Then the troubles will come down the road with the direct injection Lt1. The valves and heads are already getting plenty bad from no fuel
cleaning just hot engine oil junk on going on the valves it will choke power too soon.
