These parts are very light in construction as they are not stressed member of the engines, thereby do not add any unwanted extra weight to the vehicle.

Engine cam covers are usually affixed to the engine with additional utilization of rubber gasket so as to ensure a tight and leak proof fit. In the present scenario, automotive engine cam covers come with breather in order to blow out any pressure and smoke build up without the requirement of disabling the cam cover from the engine.

The interior portion of the automotive engine cam cover is baffled, which reduces harsh movement of oil within the cam cover. Innovations in the design of automotive engine cam cover include different types of breather for specific purposes that include open breathers, foamed breathers, breathers with filters and oil-draped covered breathers.
