Section 3.1
Overview of Lubricating System
The lubrication system consists of the following components:
- Oil Pump
- Pressure Relief Valve
- Oil Filter
- Oil Filter Adaptor
- Oil Cooler
- Oil Level Dipstick
- Oil Pan
- Ventilating System
- Piston Cooling
- Camshaft Oil Cooler
Oil leaving the oil pump is forced through the full-flow filter to the oil cooler and then into the oil gallery in the cylinder block. From there it is distributed to the various engine bearings and moving parts.
A schematic of the lubricating system is shown in the following illustration. See Figure "Lubrication System Schematic Diagram" .
