Center Bolt Valve cover PCV routing I'm in the middle of a heads and cam swap and being a '98 car I had to go from perimeter to center bolt valve covers. I did not know until about 5 minutes ago that there is no rear PCV provisions on the center bolt covers.
Is there a way around this?

I must've gotten valve covers from an LS2 or one of the later engines with the LS6 valley cover. The passenger side valve cover just does not have any provision for the PCV at the rear.
I just bought a LS6 valley cover so it's not an issue any longer.

Same boat. I have a 98 and just finished a head and intake swap. I called Tick Performance and one of the techs said to just block off the pcv hose that would connect there.

I'll do that for now so i can get the car running. Once the new valley cover gets here, I'll put it in and not have to worry about it anymore. It works out anyway because the cross over pipe from the drivers side to the passenger side had this big *** hole in it anyway.
