Lubrication

Conceptual diagrams
The high pressure circuit is highlighted in blue. The low pressure circuit is highlighted in green
The lobe pump «1» sucks in oil from the sump through the mesh pre-filter «2», pushes it into the car-
tridge filter «3»; the main bushings and the big end are lubricated (with high pressure) through the
suitable passages found in the crankcase halves «4» whereas the piston pin and connecting rod small
end are lubricated via jet «5».
Afterwards, the oil, through a nozzle «6» whose function is to reduce the flow rate, reaches the timing
system where it lubricates the camshaft and from there, the valves and rockers «7». The oil passes
through the timing chain conduit and returns to the sump «8» by gravity
