Crankcase emission control system
description
The engine is equipped with a pcv system to prevent discharging crankcase
emissions into the atmosphere. Blow-by
gas in the engine is constantly drawn into the crankcase, which is returned to
the combustion chamber through the
pcv (breather) hose, air cleaner and throttle body.
