my PCV is broken, and I want a used pcv system for my 98 LS1, I've talked to someone here who has is, but suddenly he stopped replying to me... so what I need now is to know if what Im doing is right...

as you probably know (98 ls1 owners) we have 2 hoses going out of the throttle body, with one hose going through a valve to the 2 elbows on the back of each head... and we have one that is going to the front of the passenger head on the lonely elbow... what I did now, cause my pcv is broken from the driver head side, and PCV side, I hooked the throttle body to itself, so I would stop causing a vaccum leak... any effects of doing that? and what options do I have for now so I can make the car run untill I can buy a PCV system...?!

Thanks

Is the valve itself broken or the tubing?Either way id just build one myself, thats what i did. There is a right up on here, real good one. And a new PCV is expensive from a dealership. JMO

This is how I did mine..

Drivers side: Vacuum Line coming off of Intake to PCV Valve in the back of the Valve Cover.

Passengers side: Vacuum Line coming off of the Intake and goes to a Venting Oil Cap that I made.

There is always a constant Vacuum in the Engine, and if it builds up alot of pressure, the PCV Valve will open up and allow that side to pull as well.
