Crankcase Ventilation System

The crankcase breather on the N63 engine operates in accordance with the same principle as on the N54 engine. In the case of the N63 engine, each cylinder bank has its own crankcase breather.

The crankcase ventilation on the N63 operates in two modes, similar to the N54. One mode is for turbocharged operation and the other is for "naturally aspirated mode" which is usually under deceleration.
