Do the LS6 Valley cover swap and/or add a catch can...
Write up on the swap on ls1howto.. as for the catch can, TR sells them as well as revxtreme, etc. etc.. I just got my TR one in the mail today and it's going on tomorrow hopefully..

Well the valley cover swap pulls the positive crank case pressure form the valley(ls6) instead of the valve cover(ls1). This cuts down on the amount of oil the pressure brings with it.
A catch can is an inline container on the way from the valve cover/valley that catches the oil and allows the pressure to carry on to the intake manifold, without the oil.
Both work to keep oil from going back into your intake and being burned, which can cause carbon build up, loss of power, and detonation..
