Abstract
An engine air-oil separator provided in a head cover for separating oil contents in blow-by gases that are recirculated to an intake system, wherein a centrifugal separation chamber for generating swirl flows in the blow-by gases is formed integrally with the head cover by a rib-like wall protruding inwardly from an internal surface of an external wall of the head cover, whereby since the centrifugal separation chamber can be embedded in the head cover, the space saving can be attained.
