LS6 PCV valley cover + catchcan made from PVC pipe works really well for me. Just about no oil is getting in to my intake now.

post your PCV problem solutions i've got an LS6 valley cover, and a draw through from the valley cover to the TB. still pulling in oil. anyone have any GOOD cheap alternitaves to fix this oil consumption problem? just looking for other's insight/ solutions.
Re: post your PCV problem solutions Thought about trying a vacuum pump? I wasted my money too, on the LS6 cover. I suck in more oil now than ever. I'll be totally deleting the PCV system with the new motor, and run a vacuum pump.
Re: post your PCV problem solutions Well the LS6 cover worked for me, no oil in the Sears air separator; but hmmm. . . still consuming oil-must be getting by the rings. About half as much as before, though.
Re: post your PCV problem solutions I just took off my whole PCV system. I had a seperator in the main line but it was sucking it from the valve covers. I just capped everything off and I'm running dual breathers. Not many miles on the setup yet so we'll see how it goes.

Re: post your PCV problem solutions I installed the 6L truck pcv vlv (Ask dealer about service bulletin, no ball, just a small hole). Also made a catch can out of pvc pipe. Looks stock & seems to work but hasn't been installed long enough to see how good.

Re: post your PCV problem solutions I had posted pics of my PCV setup a few months back.
I used steel braided hose from each valve cover and ran it through an air/oil seperator then vented it back into the stock pcv valve and into the intake manifold like the stock pcv system.
I empty the Oil/Air catcher every couple weeks, and it usually has about 4-5 ounces of oily crap in it. Especially when racing, at WOT it accumulates alot more.
I took the pics offline, I will reupload then tonite.

Re: post your PCV problem solutions i've gotta ls6 PCV setup also (replaced lifter valley cover) and it wouls moke like a son of a bitch after I finished my build up (sucking oil)
I then constructed a cheap catch can outta some clear vinyl hose, some barb fittings, and a sears air/water seperator.... seems to catch most of the oil (only smoke a little now when I start to accelerate)
