Just checking to see if you had some pics of the clearancing needed on your valvecovers for the Jesels you have.

Thanks! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

My experience is that it's more radical than just "clearancing". All the internal baffling had to be removed, which resulted in a LOT of oil being drawn into the PCV system. I've done the mod using an air compressor filter, but I can fill the reservoir in 2-300 miles of even moderate driving. Plan B is an LS6 PCV setup and aftermarket valve covers without PCV fittings.

ttt, please tell me this is not true. I know they need to be clearanced but the oil in the pcv is not good.

I would love to see those pictures, too!

If someone has come up with a way to fit both the Jesel system and all that baffling in those skinny little valve covers, I'd like to see it.

External pcv baffling is completely acceptable, most race style engines require it.Fill cap can be converted to oil/baffle seperator also. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Why don't you use valve cover spacers?

I'll snap some photos next weekend when I visit the shop. Basically, all of that sheetmetal must be removed, as well as those plastic parts on the inside. Then everything is grinded down smooth. I believe a few of those "bumps" from the coil pack mounting bolt areas also had to be smoothed a bit. Takes a good hour per cover to prep them.
