converting to LS6 vented valley cover.

I've heard a few people talk about this but not quite sure on what parts are needed what a done with the PCV port on the valve cover and intake..

Its as easy as buying a new valley cover.

Just out of curiosity, why is the side where it's going from the PCV valve to the bellows/intake considered the clean side? Isn't that were all the gunk is coming from, the exhaust gasses from the crankcase?

the LS6 valley cover has a barb coming directly from the crankcase, the valvecover in that senario is setup to suck in the clean air from the intake tract and then push the dirty air out the crankcase into the catch can.

Don't forget you have to cut the block to use the ls6 cover

If I'm reading that drawing the bottom of the catch can allows for dirt air to go back in to the intake?


That's what I want to eliminate

Once the air goes throw the can it will be rid of almost all oil. You need to have it hooked to a vacuum source to help evacuate the crankcase.

Above or In front of a throttle blade has no vacuum.

If the air pump is removed what other vacuum source would you guys use

Intake manifold. I would hook it up exactly as that diagram shows. Had it hooked up like that on the last combo and it worked perfect.

Make sure u plug any unused pcv ports

Thanks for the help Mike.

Well I think I figured out why my car is running so rich and burning oil, when ken put my LS6 valley cover on. He never put the PCV back in line after the TB... what a douchload

[riderman329]

something can't be right, i'm draining from catch can and burning almost half a quart of oil, after a few hundred miles... where is all the oil coming from?

Did he cut the block or maybe cut the baffle off the cover instead?
