LS6 valve covers different than LS1?

Are the valve covers on a C5 Z06 different than those found on an LS1 F body or vette? Anybody have any pics of an LS6 engine with the covers removed?

Yeah, I dont think you got the question.

There were definitely several different valve covers used from year to year/model to model. I currently have 6.0 truck covers on mine, they have 1 less breather port on them than my 99 F-body ones did.

I believe I have found out the only difference is that the LS6 covers only have 1 pcv port on the passenger side, due to the different pcv system, as opposed to 2 on the LS1 passenger side cover. The driver's side cover is the same.
