CRANKCASE BREATHING SYSTEM
3.11
GENERAL
See
Figure 3-49.
On piston downstroke, a mixture of crank-
case air and oil mist is vented up the push rod covers (1)
through an umbrella valve (3) in each middle rocker box sec-
tion.
The oil mist separates from the crankcase air, collects and
passes through a small drain hole (2) where it eventually
returns to the crankcase.
The crankcase air is routed through a passage in each cylin-
der head. The air then travels through each air cleaner
breather bolt (4). Hoses leading from the air cleaner bolts
vent the air to the air cleaner’s snorkel.
