Crankcase ventilation
The crankcase ventilation system is configured as a head ventila-
tion system. The extraction point for the blow-by gases* is located
in the cylinder block. The riser channels are protectively located in
the bearing saddle of main bearings two, three and four. The blow-
by gases are admitted directly into the rocker cover through the
cylinder head.
