CONNECTING TUBE
The connecting tube directs the flow of oil vapors from
the front of the engine to the oil separator.
OIL SEPARATOR ASSEMBLY
This separator is mounted on the right front side of the
engine and is used to trap, condense and discharge
the oil vapors from the crankcase. This prevents the
loss of oil from the engine into the atmosphere.
ADJUSTING VALVE GL
BAFFLE BOX
The adjusting valve for a GL engine regulates compressor discharge pressure that is applied to the
breather ejector, which creates the vacuum that is
used to evacuate the crankcase oil vapors (see
Figure 2.40-6).
ADJUSTMENT
VALVE
The ejector breather is a venturi that is used to create a vacuum in the separator and connecting tube (see
Figure 2.40-7). This draws the oil vapor from the crankcase.
