Oil drain pipe (5)	install in position illustrated.
	NOTE: The oil drain pipe (5) is designed as a syphon. This prevents engine oil being drawn in together with the blow by gases if the opening of the oil drain pipe (5) is positioned below the oil level. The oil drain pipe (5) is knocked into the oil drain hole in the crankcase (1) in a particular position.
