LS6 PCV is doing the Job!

After the install of the TR224 the SS started using lots of oil. After an in depth search for causes I pulled the intake to do the LS6 PCV to see if that helped. The intake runners were dripping oil and the head ports were coated! The car was using 1 qt every 1,000 miles. So far the car has about 350 very very very hard miles on it with several 6600 rpm runs and NO OIL USAGE at this point! I also installed the truck PCV or orvice in place of the stock PCV. I'll post up after some more miles, jut wanted to let you guys know that it does help.

Yeah. I used the how to pretty much word for word. Just gotta be very careful with the block cutting and keeping things clean.

My car was also using about 1 quart every 1400 miles on the highway. I just installed the LS6 cover and will post my results once I put some miles on it.

LS6 PCV worked great for me also. The only thing in the catch can now is water. I'm still using oil, but I think it goes by the rings because I'm always reving this thing.
