Abstract
An internal combustion engine breather system in which a lower engine volume is defined by an engine crankcase, an upper engine volume is defined by a top cover, and an upper forward part of the crankcase includes a housing defining a volume to accept a fuel injection pump. Breather gas inlet means are provided to receive breather gas from one or more locations within the volume defined by the fuel injector pump housing, a breather gas conduit fluidly connects the inlet to a separator capable of separating oil from suspension within the breather gas, and a breather balancing conduit fluidly connects the separator to the upper volume defined by the top cover.
