TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
ENGINE
The engine is a six-cylinder, water-cooled
carburetor unit with overhead valves. The
engine has
.
a very rigid cylinder block
made of special cast iron and is cast in
one piece. The cylinder liners are machin-
ed directly in the block. The cylinder head
has separate inlet and exhaust ports, one
for each valve.
The statically and dynamically balanced
crankshaft is carried in seven main bear-
ings.

Lubricating
system
Engine lubrication is taken care of by a
gear pump located in the oil pan
.
The
pump is driven by a gear from the cam-
shaft. From the pump the oil is forced
through the full-flow type oil filter and
then along oilways to the various lubri-
cating points. A relief valve is built into
the oil pump and prevents the oil pressure
from
reaching
excessively
high
values.
The oil
filter
is of the full-flow type, that
is, all the oil passes through the filter be-
fore continuing on to the engine lubricat-
ing points.
