PCV fitting for a 99+ LS1 I got some Patriot heads which of course use the newer center-bolt valvecover design. I got the valvecovers but unfortunately they do not include the PCV hardware. The passenger side is fine, but I can't find any fitting to go into the hole on the rear drivers side valvecover.
What do y'all recommend?

Your probably gonna have to get it from the dealer unless you can find a junker somewhere, i'm not sure but GM may only offer the fitting as part of the valve cover.

Replace the valley cover with a ls6 valley cover and use 6 inch piece of tubbing to connect valley cover to throttle body with a pcv in between. Not sure the pcv part number i used. I can check it out if your interested.. The new system virtually elimanates oil consumption as well.

Matt,
I took the rubber o-ring out of the driver side valve cover and found:
1. A rubber stopper with a hole in it that fit snug into the o-ring.
2. I put a hose connector in the hole.
3. Put a rubber fuel hose onto the other half of the connector.
4. Put a "T" hose connector on the other end of the hose.
5. I ran a hose from the pass side valve cover and also plugged it into the "T"
6. Used another hose from the "T" where the other two hoses were now connected and plugged it into the intake.
If you have trouble finding this stuff, I can put together a kit for you.
*Edit I forgot to mention that after the "T" I plugged in the PCV valve.
