Abstract

A reciprocating internal combustion engine having a cylinder crankcase and a ventilation device for said crankcase, which ventilation device is in fluid flow relation with an oil-gas distribution line in a cylinder head. The fluid flow connections between the ventilation device (3) and the interior of the cylinder crankcase (1) and between the ventilation device (3) and the oil-gas distribution line is effected solely by flow passages internal to the engine.
