Timing Case Breather Element - OM460
Detroit Diesel

The breather element for the timing case in OM460 engines is an elastomer-based component designed to manage crankcase ventilation effectively. Measuring approximately 57.24 mm in width and 117.4 mm in length, it fits snugly within the timing cover, allowing the engine to vent excess gases safely while preventing dirt and debris ingress. Its elastomer construction provides flexibility and resilience against engine heat and chemical exposure, ensuring a long service life. Proper ventilation facilitated by this part is essential to prevent pressure buildup within the crankcase, which could lead to oil leaks or seal failures. Additionally, it helps maintain optimal engine performance by reducing the buildup of harmful gases, contributing to cleaner emissions and smoother operation.
