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 />
