Default L92 PCV valve on drivers valve cover

Anyone put a PCV valve on the rear driver valve cover? I have this running to the intake pass side. Part number?

There is no port on the valley cover on L92's. Port on the passenger valve cover goes to fresh filtered air between filter and throttle body?

Any help appreciated for noobie.

Thanks!

I have the drivers side valve cover going to the port on the LS3 intake just behind the throttle body. The passenger port is going to a tiny cone filter tucked under the LS3 fuel rail covers. This mimics the stock setup.

When you say "passenger port" do you mean the intake pass port (dark orange cap) or the valve cover passenger port(duct taped on mine)?

Drivers side valve cover port goes to the port on your intake that has the orange plug on it. The passenger valve cover port gets the air filter. Originally this would have been plumbed to the intake.

That long molded plastic tube is the PCV hose and should go into the passenger side of the intake right behind the throttle body (orange cap). The drivers side valve covers with the hose fitting already has a PCV orifice - no valve is needed. Similar in function to the valley plate mounted PCV. An example would be on the 2010 L99 Camaro which the same long PCV hose to the DS valve cover, while the 2010 LS3 Camaro uses the small U-shaped hose that is routed into the valley plate and the DS valve cover is capped.

The orange cap on the drivers side of the intake is for EVAP, if you are not using it you can plug it off. The orange cap on the Passenger side of the intake is the vacuum source for the PCV.

The duct taped valve cover port near the oil filler neck (passenger side) is the fresh air side of the crankcase, it typically is routed into the air induction on the Gen IV engines, on Gen III engines it used to be routed into the throttle body itself. As long as it is filtered, it don't matter how that particular port is allowed to breathe, it can have its own filter - or be connected to the induction.
