Lastnight I started to install the LS6 intake.

Everything went good until I came across this....

PCV line was ripped and almost in 2. Had a huge hole in it and then it ripped i on accident when I pulled it a little. It was very brittle. Where can I get a new one?




Then I was putting one of the injectors back in to the fuel rail and I took a chunk out of one of the o-rings that goes in between the injector and fuel rail. Should I get a new one or will it be ok? its not cut all the way through it just a little piece ripped off of it. If I need to get a new one where can I get one?



Next issue was I didn't hear all of the injectors click into the inake but they seem to be in from the looks of it. Are they all suppose to make a noise when they click in?

Also I deleted my AIR/EGR... What do I do with the AIR connections that were plugged into the pump?

Thanks!!!

That sucks, man. You're probably gonna have to hit up a GM Dealership to get the broken piece of the PCV tubing. Either that or a Junkyard.

If you have a broken (or even slightly broken) Fuel Injector O-Ring, I would definitely replace it. When you're dealing with a flammable, I wouldn't take any chances of having it fail and spray fuel all over the hot engine/engine bay.

I had the same situation when I installed my LS6 Intake. I just pushed them in with some serious elbow-grease and called it good. I've only driven my car once since the install, but everything seems to be fine.

Do you mean the EGR/A.I.R. flanges on the exhaust manifolds? If so, you'll need to either purchase or fabricate some block-off plates to bolt to each manifold port.

I haven't deleted the A.I.R. System from my Formula yet, but I did ditch the EGR. I had Maintanence Technician at my place of employment fabricate a block-off plate out of a small chunk of steel. Simply traced the outside of the flange on the EGR tube that connects to the manifold, drilled a couple holes and just like that I had my block-off plate. Bolted up to the passenger header perfectly. I plan to do the same when I get to removing the A.I.R. System.

Hope this helps.

Your car looks good, man. Good luck with finishing up your install.

Thank you for reply!

As for the air/egr question I am talking about the electrical connections that connect into the air pump. I already fab'ed some block off plates.

get some electrical tape and tape them to the wiring harness incase you ever decide to put it back on

Mine did the same thing and I ended up using gas hose and some t fittings to completely redo that back section along with the front. From gm the whole assembly is around 80-100 bucks heres the writeup on the front part http://www.ls1.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2252766 for the back like I said some trimming to the existing platic tubbing and subbing that old foam for gas hose and brass fittings worked great.

My PCV tubing ripped in the exact same spot! I went to GM dealership to get a new one and it came out to be $97.

EGR thingy

I would think you could make your own part from Home Depot and you should replace the o ring.

For ripped hose, grab a barbd fitting from lowes $2.00 and two hose clamps.

Injector O ring, any autoparts carry them, believe they come 4 to a pack. $3.00

Fab up block off plates for headers, or visit ws6store, i believe they still sell them.

also looks like your egr for intake is deleted now, you can buy a egr block off from dealer for that.

I ended up replacing the o ring. As for the ripped hose can I just put a new hose in its place? Are you saying I should just connect it together? Just trying to picture what you are saying. Also, i made some block off plates.

I have a LS6 intake, I dont need a block off plate do i?

I just tied mine in a knot around the brace by the fusebox.

thats nonsense. you know all the nipples on the PCV system are 3/8 (ish) right? save the "y" block and buy a few 3/8 plastic nipples and some 3/8 fuel line and make your own PCV lines. cost me 15 bucks, with the most expensive being the fuel line. the only reason i used fuel line is because autozone doesnt like to stock vacuum line.

Just to add make sure you use gaskets with the block-off plates.

just go to the parts store, get about 4' of rubber fuel line and put a catch can on it. Same thing happened to my pcv line so thats what i did.Also bought a $2 universal pcv valve from napa.

Now, lets say I do make my own, there is a ground wire on the stocker, will I need that for the new one? What about putting little breathers on the valve covers?

blk99sleekbeak

iTrader: (2)

i didnt use the ground.no breathers.pcv system needs to be sealed.do a search and theres a post somewere with tons of graphs on how to lay it out.ill put it into words the best i can

-Leave vacuum line going from throttlebody to front of passenger valve cover.
-cap off rear port on passenger valve cover
-run a line from rear of drivers valve cover to catch can.this is the line in which the pcv valve should be installed
-line from catch can to intake manifold

Rev extreme is probly the best catch can on the market.comes with a pcv valve already installed.Make sure you get a baffled one.

I have a greddy catch can(it was free)and its not baffled and it still catches alot of stuff but it doesnt catch as much as a baffled one would

Ok, yes I have seen the catch can layouts. I will probably hold off on a catch can for now since I am just trying to get it running and on the road. I have outter tie rod ends to do, alighnment, rear axle bearing, poly motor mounts, stock trans mount, poly torque arm mount and put the headers on, and figure out what I am going to do to the exhaust. So i have a bit to do yet.
