PCV and hoses rotted out had the heads off of the camaro last weekend, when i was putting it back together i noticed that the PCV valve and the hoses running from valve cover to valve cover were cloged and rotted out, i need to get these replaced, but right now they are capped off, i figured if it ran fine with them cloged then it would run just as fine with them plugged.
Has anyone else had this problem, and where can i get the new hoses?
thanks in advance

i just got the new style ls6 valley cover....it is cheaper than a new pcv hose setup.....and it eliminates the pcv totally.....no worries about a expensive hose rotting out and creating a vacum leak was the seal of the deal for me

Verdad Gallardo umm yea if you are going to spend $90 on pcv, it might as well be the LS6 valley cover from GMpartsdirect and the little grommets you need. There is a write up on LS1HowTo on how to do the swap, it is very simple.

OP good choice on the LS6 valley cover.. it is not that hard as some think it might be.. it takes 10 minutes and you can do it blindfolded...

any person who can follow a write up loosely can easily do this.. quit trying to make it seem like such a big deal because you spent ur money on worthless stock PCV when you could have had better..
