ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a means for limiting the pressure within the induction system of an internal combustion engine having a flexible elastomeric sealing wall disposed between components of the intake. When internal pressures reach a predetermined limit, the wall is subject to elastic deformation to thereby vent the pressure increase within the induction system to the exterior thereof. Rates of pressure rise and peak pressures are thereby lowered. Return of normal system pressure levels operate to reseat the sealing wall enabling continuation of engine operation.
