Oil Pump
2-2.5.2. Oil Sump
The oil sump body is a welded unit composed of front and rear halves of pressed sheet
steel. A thick mounting flange ring, an oil filler neck, and drain plug boss are welded to
the body to complete the assembly. The oil sump plug boss has provisions for safety
wiring the plug. A bracket welded to the neck attaches the oil sump to a stud in the lower
crankcase engine mounting leg. At the neck of the oil filler pipe, a locking device retains
the combined dip stick/filler cap. The dipstick is marked in quarts to the full mark.
2-2.5.3. Oil Pressure Relief Valve
A machined, threaded boss is located on the lower right side of the accessory case for
installation of a non-adjustable oil pressure relief valve. Its passages are connected to the
oil pump outlet passage. This valve opens when the oil pump pressure exceeds the
specified operating limit and directs oil back to the oil sump.
2-2.5.4. Oil Cooler Adapter
The oil cooler adapter (Figure 2-12) is located on the lower 2-4 side crankcase. The
adapter incorporates provisions for the attachment of an externally-mounted oil filter and
oil cooler. The adapter also incorporates a bypass valve which allows oil flow in the
event the external oil filter or oil cooler become clogged.
