Oil Pump and Breather System

Step 1

Retrieve your Engine assembly from the previous stage. Firmly press the keyed post of the Oil Breather Separator Box into this matching keyed hole of the Cylinder Head (Right), as shown.

Step 2

Press the pin of the Oil Pump into the matching post hole on the side of the Oil Breather Separator Box. There is a notch on the Oil Pump that lines up with a matching notch on the box, as shown:

Step 3

Firmly press the keyed pin of the Oil Filler Cap into the matching keyed hole of the Cylinder Head (Left), as shown:

Step 4

Fit the flanged end of the Oil Breather Pipe up into the hole on the bottom of the Oil Pump, and the other end into this small hole on the front of the Cylinder Head (Left), as shown:

And just like that, we have finished building the engine of our Lamborghini Miura!

Thoughts
