Default 2002 Zo6 PVC system

what is different on a 2002 ZO6 Corvette's PVC system that keeps the intake oil free!! I want to change my 2001 TransAm over to the Vettes system so I don't always have oil in the intake. What do I need???

The Corvette system pulls the vapors from under the intake manifold while the F-bodies pull the vapors from the back of both valve covers.Both systyems seem to be ineffective so the best solution is to use a catch can or air water seperator between the pcv valve and the throttle body.The only down side is that it has to be emptied periodically.

I did the conversion and it was a total waste of time and several hundred $'s. Save your money and get a catch can.

I did it. While it did seem to cut down on the amount of oil getting in the intake, it did not prevent it compleatly (still get a thick "film" of oil in there). I need to make a catch can to improve the system but just have not done it yet.

Damn, I did mine when I put my LS6 intake on, then I removed the intake 700miles later to paint it and it was totally dry and clean on the inside. I do have a 98 Camaro, if that matters. I thought it was a great mod, and I was able to do it for about $45.
