Bigfoot Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 Lemme guess Mike, I have to cut this off???? Man alive, if so, that's kind of a scary concept!!!!I know this needs to be done...I had oil residue everywhere, especially in my old intake. The intake I got from Tim had a bit inside it too! So what's the best way to do this without making a big huge mess and dropping shavings in the cam (yes, I know cover it up), but how about a good "trick?" BTW Tim, I have your old intake all put together and ready to slap on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell you what, I think once this is all done...I'm going to see some dramatic power increases. If I took those blue rags out you'd see how dirty those intake wells are... I'm going to run Techron/injector cleaner through this thing for the next several months and hope a bunch of that stuff cleans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so this is no longer required correct?We generally take it all the way flush both on the bottom and the side just for safety... if you need any help im happy to stop by!Far as the old PCV, you just need to take a razor blade and cut hose around the small cap that goes in the drivers side valve cover, pull it out of the hose, then stick a rubber vacuum cap on it to seal it, then on the passanger side, put a cap on the rear breather, then connect the front one back to the intake. you have a new piece that will connect the intake manifold to the new cover!

The PCV hose is hard plastic, so the end cap wont just pop out... you have to put a slit in it with a razor blade so you can pull it out! I will try to snap a pic. It is just the small piece that sticks into the driver side valve cover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you made it sound before was that I'd basically be capping off all 3 that come from the valve covers.My mistake, just re-read your other post.

Guest AZ Power & Sound Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 NO JOY!!!! Still no freaking parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your coolant crossover is in... I will snag the valley cover off a new LS6 we have in back, then replace it when the new one comes in.AZP&S,Does this set-up eliminate the PCV valve?Sure does! They have an optional tube with the valve still in, but GM eliminiated the valves in 04 so im just guessing they didnt see a reason for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
