Default Tapped Valley Cover and Valve Cover Clearence on L92s

So 2 questions;

1.) Will LQ4 Valve covers clear the stock rockers on L92 heads?

2.) Has anyone just tapped their valley cover and install a fitting and ran some line for the PCV system similiar to the LS6 style instead of just buying the LS6 stuff?

Iirc I think it depends on the year, the passenger valve cover will not clear. I just cut all the baffling out to make them fit.

I like the idea on tapping the valley cover. I have been watching for an LS6 one myself.
