The full load breather consists of an oil separator, a two-way valve and a flexible hose. The oil separator and the two-way valve are installed in the top of the LH (left-hand) cylinder head cover. The flexible hose connects the LH cylinder head cover to the LH air duct of the intake air distribution and filtering system.
The oil separator is installed in a channel in the top of the cylinder head cover. A baffle plate, which incorporates a gas inlet and an oil drain, is installed over the channel. The two-way valve is installed in the gas outlet from the channel. The two-way valve prevents reverse flow into the cylinder head cover when there is minimal depression in the air duct.
