The full load breather consists of an oil separator, a check valve and a plastic pipe. The oil separator and the check valve are installed in the top of the left (Bank 2) camshaft cover. The pipe connects the left camshaft cover to the clean air duct of the intake air distribution and filtering system.
The oil separator is installed in a channel in the top of the camshaft cover. A baffle plate, which incorporates a gas inlet and an oil drain, is installed over the channel. The check valve is installed in the gas outlet from the channel. The two-way valve regulates fresh air flow and improves idle stability.
