i was planning on doing the ls6 pcv mod to my ls1 to remove all the old pcv piping and make room, but it is it worth all the work? and do i have to get a oil catch canister? ive seen some with and some without.

Catch can not necessarily needed. But is usually the best with ls6 vent cover.
I got a very good condition vented ls6 valley cover fs if interested

ok i'll get back at you, im really cosidering doing it since i have a bad knock sensor, and might as well do that since im pulling off the manifold.

If you are already planning on replacing a knock sensor I say do it. I did mine when I swapped to a fast intake and it is cake. But depending on your block you may need to cut a notch so the internal pcv will fit. But if you have an 01-02 block (ls6 block) you will be fine and no cutting will be necessary. I think I got the valley cover, misc plugs/hoses off gmpartsdirect for right around 60 bucks to my door.

Here are the part #'s for everything you will need:
12577927- ls6 vally cover
GM Valve Cover Plugs #12568011
GM PCV Hose #12594779

and you can use the plug that comes on the breather neck on the valley cover also.

cool thanks for all the help i know my car is a 2001 camaro, but i did had to swap out the old motor, so not sure if the block i got was a 01-02, and thanks for part #'s, that made my life that much easier haha.

No problem. I cant remember exactly how to tell, but it was something along the lines of if your block had a bulls eye looking stamp on the front top part of the block it was an ls6 and if not then ls1. But dont quote me on it, do a little research.

ok sure thing, atleast you put me in some kind of direction, better than nothing haha.

If it has the targets on the front of the engine just above the water pump its an ls1 block. If it doesn't have them its an ls6 block.

Ah, well there you go. Thanks for clearing that up.

01bluels1

i think only like 10% of 01-02 blocks were LS6 blocks. i have an 01 car, and i had to cut my block to do the upgrade
