An internal combustion engine includes, but is not limited to an engine block, a crankshaft associated to the engine block, a cylinder head fixed on top of the engine block so as to define an assembly axis of the internal combustion engine, a camshaft, and a housing for a timing device connecting the crankshaft to the camshaft, the housing having a frontal opening which is laterally delimited by two opposite sidewalls belonging to the engine block and two opposite sidewalls belonging to the cylinder head, the frontal opening being closed with a first cover fixed to the sidewalls of the engine block, and with a second cover fixed to the sidewalls of the cylinder head.

Timing cover assembly for an internal combustion engine

An endothermal engine provided with a device for purifying the blow-by gases of the block, comprising a housing provided with an inlet opening communicating with the interior of the block of the engine and an outlet opening for the purified gases and integrally defining an impact separator for the removal of the larger oil particles and a filter member for the separation of the residual oil and particulates housed in a chamber of the housing; the device forms a compact integrated unit which may be readily mounted on the engine.
