A crankcase emission control device of an internal combustion engine comprises
a gas/liquid separator that separates an oil mist from blow-by gases flowing therethrough.
A first passage is defined in both a crankcase and a cylinder head to connect an
interior of the crankcase to a valve rocker cover chamber defined by the cylinder
head. A second passage extends from the valve rocker cover chamber to the gas/liquid
separator. A third passage extends from the gas/liquid separator to an intake system
of the engine. For reducing the height of the entire construction of the engine,
the gas/liquid separator is integrally formed by the cylinder head at a position
below intake ports of the cylinder head.
