LS6 vally cover on a LS1 , worth it?
Because it works .. I use no oil ... unless you think that a 1/2 quart every 5,000 miles is excessive...I do not have any oil in my intake..and I do not have some dead weight catch can cluttering up the engine bay...the car has 163,000 + miles on it now and makes 452 RWHP is a dailey driver and I am very satisfied with this set up to say the least.

Not aguing and I am glad you have no oil consumption but you most CERTAINLY DO NOT have "positive crankcase ventilation "if you are running a breather to open air! Don't take my word for it....Ask any well known engine builder.

Like I said it works very well and it was recommened by a very known sponsor of this website..I don't have time to argue with you or what ever the phuch you want to call it...I was building NHRA national record holding engines before you were born..have a nice day

[QUOTE=slt200mph;9660765] Why are you taking recomendations from someone else if you were building NHRA "record holding engines" since before I was born?(1956)
Jerkoff! .. Ask someone who knows before you open your pie hole

Verdad Gallardo Yah whatever... OK apologies for any rude comments but you started. NOW. Explain to me how your PCV system is not pulling fresh air in from the breather??

If you use a LS6 Valley cover you need the follwing to duplicate its effectiveness:
>Mod the valley if older block
>Use the true LS6 PCV valve setup
>re-route your PCV lines (removing driver side crossover and capping at outlets with nipples)
Only then will it be as effective as on a true LS6
TR has a full kit.

I don't think it is useless, I'm going to use it as another place to pull the excess gases from. I don't run a PCV valve, instead I use a checkvalve.
I'm thinking I'll run a line from both valve covers and from the vallery cover, through my catch can/checkvalve and then back into the intake. I'll use a breather on the extra passenger valve cover for the fresh air.

The system needs to pull fresh air from somewhere. Since I can't pull air from the throttle body anymore where should I get it from now?
When I had huge oil consumption problems from a cracked ringland I did this:
-the front vent on the passenger valve cover went to a breather
-I disconnected the line going from my catch can through the checkvalve to the intake. (The lines running to the catch can came from both valve covers)
-removed the oil fill cap
Tons of smoke would exit through the oil cap.
As soon as I plugged the line back into the intake the smoke exiting the oil cap went away. Obviously the system pulls enough air under vacuum to clear out the crankcase. The system needs fresh air from somewhere, and the breather on the valve cover gives that.
