Lubrication<br />

<strong>Engine</strong> Lubrication<br />

Full pressure lubrication, through a full-flow oil filter is supplied<br />

by a gear-type oil pump. Oil is drawn up through the oil pump<br />

screen and passes through the pump to the oil filter. The oil<br />

filter is full-flow paper element unit with an anti-drain back<br />

valve. An oil filter bypass valve is used to ensure adequate<br />

oil supply, in the event the filter becomes plugged or develops<br />

excessive pressure drop. Filtered oil flows into the main<br />

gallery and then to the camshaft, the balance shaft, the rear<br />

bearing and the crankshaft bearings. The valve lifter oil<br />

gallery supplies oil to the valve lifters. Oil flows from the<br />

valve lifters through the hollow valve pushrods to the valve<br />

rocker arms. Oil drains back to the crankcase through the<br />

oil drain holes in the cylinder head. The camshaft timing<br />

chain is drip fed from the front camshaft bearing. The pistons<br />

and piston pins are lubricated by oil splash.<br />

Cleanliness and Care<br />

• Throughout this section, it should be understood<br />

that proper cleaning and protection of machined<br />

surfaces and friction areas is part of the repair<br />

procedure. This is considered standard shop<br />

practice even if not specifically stated.<br />

• When any internal engine parts are serviced, care<br />

and cleanliness is important.<br />

• When components are removed for service, the<br />

components should be marked, organized or<br />

retained in a specific order for re-assembly.<br />
