LS6 PCV is a waste. I have the LS6 valley cover on my car and it doesn't help. Still got just as much oil in the intake as before. Get a catch can.

does the catch can go before the pcv valve or after ? ... then another line goes from the can to the intake .... is that all there is to it ??

I have my catch can after the PCV valve. I would think you could do it before or after tho.

The catch can needs to be after the PCV, meaning between the PCV and the intake.

Any of you guys running a catch can on the LS6 setup able to toss up some pics?

I have one in the "post pics of your catch cans" thread. Do a search for it.

I have read the install instructions for the LS1 to LS6 PCV swap, its stated that the 'old style' LS1 blocks need to be dremeled.

So I assume this means later LS1 blocks, like 2002+ are designed with enough clearance for the LS6 valley cover.

My million dollar question is:
How can I tell if my block is going to need to be modified/dremeled or not - before having to remove my intake/original cover?

Do a search for the block part number, that should be the easiest way. I had to cut mine, it wasn't to bad. I used a cutoff wheel.

You normally install the LS6 pvc system to clean the engine bay up. Mine never burned a drop of oil, so I can't tell ya if it made a difference, but it looks alot better without all those hoses.

Save your time and money. The LS6 valley cover is a waste.

Not if you are looking to clean the engine bay up. Just my .02. But if your looking for less oil consumption, then your right on target.

I definetly wouldnt mind cleaning up the enigne bay - but my main reason would be to reduce/eliminate oil into the intake.

$150 for the kit from TR is fine by me, heck, I could even do the install, short of cutting the block. That part bothers me!

Maybe a winter project this year.

I still got just as much oil in the intake with the LS6 valley cover/pcv.

I've got an 02 SS and mine has the part that needs dremeled. On a side note, it does have the holes drilled and tapped for a chain dampner. My guess is that only LS6 blocks dont need modded. THATS JUST A GUESS. If you check the casting number then you'll know.

One of the first mods in 1998 was the Vertical PCV Mod. I have been using it since 1998, no problems.

You are correct. All LS1 blocks will need the dremel mod to fit the LS6 valley cover. LS6 blocks do not. Go figire.
