Abstract:
Various systems and methods are provided for reducing an amount of oil reaching a crankcase overpressure sensor. In one example, a system may include a cast wall protruding perpendicularly from an internal wall of crankcase, the cast wall at least partially surrounding a sensor port for a crankcase overpressure (COP) sensor, the sensor port fluidically coupled to the COP sensor via an internal passage; and a cover plate fixedly coupled to the cast wall, the cover plate parallel to the internal wall. In this way, oil may be blocked from reaching the COP sensor, while air may flow through the internal passage to the COP sensor.
