GM P/N 12568002, You simply remove the intake manifold and unbolt the existing cover, then install the new one. Go to this website for further detail. The inline pcv valve I made was a valve, inserted into a rubber hose, then a hollowed out valve at the other end to plug a hose into. Website: www.ls1howto.com

I did it on mine. But remember, I think its pre 03 blocks will require cutting in the valley for the LS6 cover to work.

Me and a couple of friends did this to my 2500HD this past weekend. It only took about 2 1/2 hours to do and it was pretty simple for the most part. My truck is using between 2-3 quarts in a 3000 mile period. I used the kit from Thunder Racing. The kit was complete, but you will need about 2 foot of 1/4 inch hose to connect the pcv system.

No did not have to cut the block. I have a 2001. I think it was the 1997-2000 that you have to cut to get it to fit.

Could have sworn there was a guy on here who had an 02 he wanted to ptu the LS6 cover on. And he had to cut...

If your valley looks like this, you gotta cut!!

Soooo....this might be a good idea for me when I decide to put the LQ9 together huh? I assume that I could still utilize my AMW catch can for some extra insurance (as a matter of fact, I think AMW makes a bracket that secures their can to one of the cylinder heads for the LSx engines with this PCV system). Or, since I already have the AMW, is it even worth it for me to spend the extra bucks for the LS6 system?
