PCV idea
PCV idea O.k. once again another PCV idea... I am building this as I type it... it seems alot of the oil comes from the Driver side valve cover pcv outlet. How about venting the Driver's side into the passenger side and then hooking up the PCV vacuum to the side of the oil filler neck..???? there will be some fabrication involved (plastic welding) but the oil filler cap doesn't sit right on top of the valve train and would introduce less oil.... the fresh air would still come from the top of the TB..... just a thought but what is your guys opinion....?????????

My car uses a lot more oil when I frequently drive fast on twisty roads. The oil gets trapped in the valve covers due to the centrifugal force in cornering. This is why GM put the pcv in the middle of the engine (valley cover) on the Z06. What I'm saying is the valve covers are a bad place period to collect oil vapors in an LSx engine.
That sounds like a great idea. You could probably find some fitting that could self tap into the plastic filler neck.
I have an LS6, so mine comes from under the intake, otherwise I would try it myself.

I like the Idea.
What if we had taller valve covers and ran breathers on top in front of both? Kinda like old style. Could we then delete the PCV that goes into the intake??
We would have to relocate packs of course and customise the plug wires.
