Oil catch can without PCV
Ok so I followed the directions of LS1-450. Can you guys confirm this is correct and that I am good to go. I do not want oil in the intake or throttle body.
it is hard to see here but I have a 90 degree elbow from the rear driver side port connected to a hose that connects to the catch can.

So this set up must have pushed some oil into my intake. After some hard runs I noticed after starting the car after sitting for a bit, I had smoke out the exhaust. I never had this until this weekend after hooking up the catch can. I have yet to install a filter inline. I would think the line that goes directly into the side of the intake would push the oil in, not the TB line. I could be wrong. Also I am still pushing up the dip stick. I don't know how much more venting I can do. The oil breather cap should be enough no?
Just had a thought....I am probably going to pull off my intake to clean it. I might as well do the LS6 valley cover swap while its off. Will this solve all my issues and is the valley cover the only thing needed? I have also read that my ls1 style coolant crossover will not fit with the ls6 valley cover. If this is the case maybe I wont swap, I like the old ls1 crossover system much better.
