Damn thats bad looking. I just recently pulled off my heads on my 98 and they have had no oil at all with 60K+ miles. When I did my LS6 PCV setup, I used clear hose for the PCV valve and the hose from the valve cover to the TB. This way I can se if any oil is being sucked through.

that's how mine looks... my LS6 PCV setup sux ***... I had to install a catch can to prevent my car from smoking like crazy...
I made my catchan from clear line (so I can see the oil) ... I used alot of it so there's a valley/low point in the hose so Oil will settle there... also put a craftsman air/water seperator in place to catch the rest... so far so good..

I do rev to ~6800, but have only done it twice since the build. I usually keep it under 4k. This is also with 20W50

I am very disappointed with the LS6 valley cover as well. I have the same amount if not more oil in the intake than with the stock setup.

Even a catch can added into the system will not cure that 100% if you are reving higher than stock rpms. I have a MODIFIED Greddy catch can and I still see oil in the intake ports at the heads albiet much less.
Can you tell me how you did it?

Killer,
how well does your catch can work? So do you guys with catch cans just keep adding new oil all the time? I just added headers and now I'm burning oil like crazy!
