Default PCV line

Hey guys its been a while. So the pcv line going from the intake manifold to the left and righ head is broken on my 02 camaro ls1. For now i just plugged the hole at the manifold. Will this hurt anything? Is there anything else I should plug. I plan to do the ls6 pcv mod in the near future- the one that gets mounted under the intake manifold. Even after that modification is there anything else that will need to be taken care of? Thanks Chris

I would try to fix it soon, the corosive gases can be harmful over time to the internals of the moter. Also if you can afford it add a catch can to the system with the ls6 gally cover.

I understand that's a PITA to get off and replace, but do it ASAP weather you plan to do the LS6 mod later or not. As stated prior, it's there to help keep harmful contaminates out of the oil. Although this isn't a do or die situation, it's best that you at least have some sort of PCV system working at all times.
