PCV poll
PCV poll Truly what works best and why?
I have read a whole **** load of stuff. and everybody has their own opinion on what works best.
From what I know (SBC Gen1) a PCV system is a must, because it vents out all the gases and helps seals not blow out.
I was under the impression that stock ls1 systems suck, there is not baffle for the PCV valve, and it sucks oil at high RPMS. The best cure for this is a Ls6 valley cover, and a catch can.
Any other opinions?

Just add a Catch Can to your current system.
If you still have the stock pcv system on your 99, just adding a catch can to the system will help A lot, especially if you mount it away from direct engine heat. That's what I did with my car.

breather on each valve cover. that's it. the inside of my intake is spotless. but you do have to stay on top of your oil changes, because oil will get contaminated more easily. i do synthetic oil every 3000miles.
