^ You don't delete the PCV. You'll just end up with leaking gaskets and lowered power. You can upgrade it so you won't ingest as much. These in stock form are notorious for drinking ~1qt of oil between changes, depending on your driving style.

You can run a breather on the filler cap, but that's been debated quite a bit. You can upgrade to a single or dual catch-can setup to catch oil before it's sucked into the intake... or you can upgrade to the LS6 valley AND a catch can to grab every ounce possible.

For 12 bucks, you can do what LS1121 did. I personally think it's a band-aid to a gunshot wound, but what he did wasn't half assed. It's about as good as a stock replacement is going to get.

Still, when money permits, introduce yourself and make friends with:

GM Part # 12577927 - LS6 Valley cover, comes with bolts & gasket
GM Part # 12594779 - Hose
