[LS1] Rocker Cover Installation

[MRNICK]

Hi Guys.

I recently purchased a set of these Rocker Covers through VPW.COM.AU

I was just wondering how I go about routing the PCV/Breather Hoses from the factory rocker covers as this set doesn't have provisions for those breather hoses.

I've already relocated my coils and have a catch can I can incorporate into the system if it makes it easier to get around.

Cheers,
Nick

I personally have done this, most likey your block will have that notch mine was a 2002 and it had it, a used 100mm stainless steel angle grinder blade that is now say 30mm modded via a 3/8 bolt/ nut set up to suit a drill worked a treat to take it out, also dont bother buying new intake gaskets as they are made of silicon and after soaking in a hot bucket of water in the laundry over night puffed back out and were like new (they were squashed up like dwarf asses) I used 8mm fuel hose with the old PCV cut off the old tangled mess. boss mod for sure, almost like a internal catch can.

Are you going to neaten it up further and relocate the coils?, the LS2 ones are a good mod as they are a tad smaller.

Champion! That is the kind of reply I was after!
I will more then likely have a couple of questions, but i'll start with this one: Given that the PCV is 'in-line' I thought it was just a case of bolting the rocker covers up and going from there?

Definitely will be moving the coils. I ended up making my own relocation kit as some of the manufacturers want ridiculous coin!!!
