The PCV valve that is part of the cam cover likely failed.....not related to your modification.
If your car is less than five years since its 'In service date' this is a covered repair under powertrain.

In speaking with the guys at the dealer I hang out at, the failed intake manifold check valve seems to be around 80% when the PCV has failed...so they generally find themselves replacing the manifold at the same time.

If you still have coverage or purchased a service contract, you should be fine......otherwise, P and L in the 5 to 7 hundred range.

Question for you Rob, I am replacing the valve cover again today, this will be the 3rd one on the car. Talking with Andrei and reading all the post I'm pretty sure my manifold is a goner also. You had mentioned above that "under warranty they will likely be replacing both" I just had to shell out $$ for the cover. With only being 11,057 miles out of warranty what are the chances GM would "good will" this for me seeing how I'm continuing to have problem after problem?? Or would Customer Care look into this for me as well??

I would hope being a GM employee they could help me out, being on the front lines and all..

I would have to say that anything beyond the 5/100 pt warranty is highly unlikely.

From the manufacturers standpoint, components that failed during pt coverage were repaired/replaced as per the policy and procedures agreement.
After that..............well, it had to end sometime.

For example, Chevrolet does a customer satisfaction override repair at 11000 miles after warranty ended.........the next guy, that is 20000 miles past now thinks he should get additional coverage.......and so on and so on.

So, to avoid such a mindset, manufacturers are (and rightfully so) rather firm with the coverage cutoffs.

Sad, I'm a GM employee as well..
