LS460 PCV Valve Location
Hello,
Does anybody know where is the PCV valve located, it would be much help if someone could provide the photos of the Pvc valve location in the engine bay? Thanks

Tried to find a diagram for you and could not. Here is my thread on changing it on my 430. May be helpful to find yours. Should not be too hard to visually locate.

LS 460 PCV valve is under the intake manifold. Alldata shows 2.1 hours to change it. Some coolant has to be drained, the entire air filter and inlets are removed. Then the injector drivers and wiring harness are removed, followed by removing the intake manifold. The PCV valve is then accessible. It's not far from the oil filler, down in the valley.

Yikes! Wish I had asked to have mine changed during the fuel sensor recall. Chances are the thing will never break, but man if it does? Looks like I'll be doing some work.

I think it will last a long time, maybe the life of the vehicle. I know pcv valves are a "maintenance item", but I can't tell you how many good ones I've replaced. Or how many I've actually seen fail (maybe one or two), my last car had 282,000 miles on it before I sold it, never changed the pcv valve.

Now that we have great cars (compared to the old days) maybe the factories can focus on making them more serviceable.

2.1 hours is nothing. I'm in the middle of changing the injectors on my Duramax diesel and it takes a pro 20 hours.
