On the LS6 style PCV, the tubing comes from within the lifter valley. There is a baffled intake point on the underside of the valley cover. The hose or tube then makes a loop to go into the intake. It "should" be much less prone to the G-force/gravity driven oil usage you describe.

the fresh air inlet goes from the throttlebody, to the front port on the passenger side cover.

no prob.

look at the attached pic, and you'll see what im talking about.


now if you have an LS6 style PCV, the valvecover Y hose (yellow and blue in that pic) is replaced with one hose coming out of the front of the valley cover. i made a outline in green for ya.
