Engine Lubrication Description
The oil pump is of a trochoid type, and mounted on the crankshaft. Oil is drawn up through the oil pump strainer
and passed through the pump to the oil filter.
The filtered oil flows into 2 paths in cylinder block.
In one path, oil reaches the crankshaft journal bearings. Oil from the crankshaft journal bearings is supplied to
the connecting rod bearings by means of intersecting passages drilled in the crankshaft, and then injected from
the big end of connecting rod to lubricate piston, rings, and cylinder wall.
In other path oil goes up to the cylinder head and lubricates valves and camshafts, etc., after passing through
the internal oilway of camshafts.
An oil relief valve is provided on the oil pump. This valve starts relieving oil pressure when the pressure exceeds
2
about 390 kPa (3.9 kg/cm
, 56.6 psi).
