On our Alpha's with the 5.3L they're known for dumping some oil back through and into the intake. People place catch can's inline to help with this, but I am curious about another way.

How about replacing the OEM valve covers with some Holley performance valve covers which require an inline PCV valve? It would eliminate the internal baffles in the OEM valve covers and convert it to a pretty standard setup. Just a thought since I know they make valve covers for the LS style engines. It also would eliminate the coil pack brackets since the Holley valve covers allow you to place them directly on the valve cover itself and it even comes with a special bracket for the coil behind the alternator.

Ive been back and forth with my local dealer cause mine seems to burn oil (not knowing about this blow back issue) and I was told by the dealer to not worry about it its normal and fine. I would prefer a method to fix this issue too.

It would still be connected to the intake, it would just have a PCV valve inline between the valve cover and intake connection.
