Oil Control Leaf Valves
A leaf valve is secured by two screws and a retainer
plate in the push rod compartment along side each
cylinder (Figure 9-16). The valves control the mist of
crankcase gases and oil that pass thought the
heads lubricating the valve system. The oil drops
out and returns to the crankcase though passages
in the heads and crankcase while the breather valve
(Page 9-6) prevents accumulation of the crank-
case gases.
