Rocker arm cover - Breather recirculation
Caution – Warning
Always check the the spring 3 and valve 2 to make sure they are
in a good conditions.
Crankcase vapor recirculation occurs through duct 4.
Iftheairlterclogs,theincreasedintakevacuumcouldsuckoilthrou-
gh duct 4 into the combustion chamber, causing the engine to ope-
rate at a runaway rate. This is prevented by valcuum valve 2 which,
when the vacuum increases, overcomes the resistance of spring 3
and shuts the duct 4.
Make sure that oil plug 5 is correctly closed.
