I just wanted to post up the results of my LS6 PCV mod, since I've just added the first quart of oil since then. The car has went 2100 miles on that quart; thats 1000 miles farther than before the mod. Still high oil consumption for a new car, but much better.

same here......about 3000 miles so far on my LS6 valley cover and I'm just now ready to add oil (vs. 1000 miles with the LS1).

And I did use the fine jmX procedure to install the LS6 PCV, I should add . . .

I did not cut my engine block to install the LS6 valley cover; rather, I cut out a 3 inch piece of the black plastic from under the valley cover....I then patched in a piece of copper tubing and sealed it off with silicone sealer...

I also am running a large catch can....

Works great!

Great to hear My car is just starting to get oil in the intake area(16k miles) and this winter I planned on the LS6 valley.

I do not get any oil consumption with my 98 after doing the LS6 PCV set-up. One of the best mods to do, if you're going to have the intake off.

Good to hear I have the parts but was debating whether or not to do the mod.

My first inpressions was that the LS6 PCV did not work, But that was due to residual oil from my old system. Now I know now that the LS6 PCV system works much better over my old LS1 system! LS6 PCV + oil catch can works really well on my car.no more oil on the back of my throttle blade! I have about the same oil consumption as Cal now. Also dont use a air compressor filter for an oil catch can, you may think I't works but I't really doesn't work for ****. AIR COMPRESSOR FILTER.

When I did the PCV mod on my car, I noticed I was using MORE oil. I have a 2002 LS6 block. The oil consumption wasn't bad at all to begin with, but I wanted no oil at all in the intake. So, I switched over to the LS6 valley cover. Oil consumption practically doubled. Maybe mine was just a fluke, but IMO, it's not worth the swap. I would use some sort of catch can setup.

My car still got a ton of oil in the intake after the valley swap. You guys actually check the TB blade? I'm using a catch can now and that works great. I wouldn't bother with this mod.

I made mine out of 2-1/2" PVC pipe. on the bottom of my catch can I also have a clear hose with a valve on the end so I can see how much oil has collected and then I can open the valve to drain the collected oil.It's worked really well for me so far.
