Abstract
A vapor-liquid separating structure for an engine includes an inlet section, a discharging section, a collecting section and a vapor-liquid separating section. The inlet section is configured and arranged to take in blow-by gas from inside a valve mechanism chamber. The discharging section is configured and arranged to discharge the blow-by gas taken in through the inlet section. The collecting section is configured and arranged to collect a majority of oil entered into the vapor-liquid separating structure through the inlet section. The vapor-liquid separating section is configured and arranged to execute a vapor-liquid separation treatment with respect to the blow-by gas while guiding the blow-by gas taken in through the inlet section to the discharging section without the blow-by gas passing through the collecting section.
