LS6 PCV conversion, should I cap the valve cover fittings or run a hose between them?
Installing the 04+ LS6 valley cover with the PCV built in, do I just cap off the fittings on the rear of each valve cover, or should I run a hose from one valve cover to the other?
I know the pass side has the vent tube running to the TB, but the drivers side would be completely sealed up with the fitting capped, so I just want to make sure.

Cap them off. Do not hook them together. That caused me to blow oil out of the rear main seal. I dont know how that advice has started floating around

I'm running the GM Performance valve covers on my 3rd Gen Nova conversion. I had one valve cover drilled and tapped with a hose going to a vented catch can. Getting a lot of vapors coming out the top of the filter. Adding the new LS6 valley cover, should I cap off the one valve cover I had drilled or do you still need a fresh air vent?

Checked over the weekend, on my conversion, I'm running a LS3 Intake with an Edelbrock TB, there are no vacuum ports coming off of the TB, have 1 on each side of the intake behind the TB, assuming I'll hook the one on the RS to the LS6 valley cover I'm adding. How should the "fresh air" be plumbed?

http://i900.photobucket.com/albums/ac206/lsnova/Nova%20Build%202010/100_2803.jpg[/URL]Thanks for the info guys. When I first had it running, pic attached, I just had a filter in the valve cover, had oil all over everywhere. I've since just put a filler cap in this, added an elbow from the DS valve cover to a vented catch can. Now I'll add the LS6 VC and reroute the line from the DS cover and plumb it into the pipe in front of the MAF. Thanks for all the pointers.
