CRANKCASE BREATHER

The crankcase breather is located on top of the rocker arm
cover. The crankcase breather system ducts crankcase gases
formed in the crankcase directly to the air intake. Harmful
vapors that would otherwise collect in the crankcase and
contaminate the oil, or escape to the outside, are drawn back
into the engine and burned.
