8. LUBRICATION SYSTEM
8.1 Lubrication System
The lube oil in the oil pan is pumped up through the intake filter and intake piping by the lube oil pump,
through the holes in the cylinder block and on to the lube oil pump, through the holes in the cylinder
block and on to the discharge filter.
The lube oil, which flows from the holes in the cylinder block through the bracket to the oil element, is
filtered after the oil cooler. It is fed to main gallery in the cylinder block.
The lube oil which flows in the main gallery goes to the crankshaft journal, lubricates the crank pin from
the crankshaft journal, and a option of the oil is fed to the camshaft bearings.
Oil is sent from the gear case camshaft bearings through the holes in the cylinder block and cylinder
head to the valve arm shaft to lubricate the valve arm and valves.
Oil is also sent from the main gallery through the intermediate gear bearing (oil) holes to lubricate the
intermediate gear bearings and respective gears.
Lube oil for the fuel injection pump is sent by pipe from the main gallery to the fuel injection pump.
