The base is configured to be coupled to the cylinder head. The cover is coupled to the base and cooperates with the base to at least partially define a rocker chamber and to at least partially define a breather assembly housing within the rocker chamber. The breather assembly is positioned within the breather assembly housing and is operable to vent a pressure pulse from within the engine.
