No video..


but ive seen guys use the Moroso catch can from jegs or summit and just run the driver and passenger valvecovers to it and that should take care of your problem.

On my Vette's 416 I have a breather on each valve cover and then the valley cover has a nipple that flows to a catch can, then inline check valve/pcv to the backside of the throttle body on the manifold. Thats the same setup I've ran for 8 years in that car and several others I've setup like it have never had issues or oily intakes.

Thats using the LS6 valley plate. On my 70 shortbed with a 5.3 swap and also in my 2005 Crew with a 6.0. I drilled into the valley plate and installed a 3" tube (1/4"id with female npt end) thats piched to slightl dampen flow. Then it goes to the catch can, then through the pcv valve, ending up in the intake manifold port.

Ok so i can just simply drill a hole stick a piece of pipe throught the stock ls1 valley cover. I dont have to go out and actually find and spend money on a ls6 valley cover? Right cuz if thats the case that would be freakin awesome... With my intake setup where would be the best place to drill the hole front, back, mid of the valley cover?
