There are only two moving parts in the entire system—the oscillating plunger
and the driveshaft of the pump, which is driven by gears direct from the camshaft.
There are no small drilled passages to clog or restrict free flow of oil when cold.
The oil pipes (3 in number) are all located outside the engine and can readily be
removed should there be any necessity to do so.
Crankcase Ventilation and Oil Conditioning
The crankcase ventilators mounted on the valve chamber covers are unusually
effective as diluents consist mainly of unburnt gasoline and water coming from
the cylinders and crankcase walls and cannot enter the oil reservoir but are
retained in the crankcase. The temperature here is near the boiling point of these
diluents and, with the agitation of the moving parts of the engine, they are readily
vaporized and removed by the slight suction maintained on the ventilator tubes.
The flow of oil after returning to the
crankcase is controlled so that it circu-
lates around passages adjacent to the cool
outside walls of the reservoir and is
cooled before passing through the filter,
which removes all solid matter before the
oil is recirculated by the pump.
The filter surfaces are so placed that
they are flushed each time the crankcase
oil is drained and therefore require no
special cleaning nor do they have to be
replaced.
Oil Capacity
Under operating conditions one quart
of oil is retained in the crankcase in addi-
tion to the five quarts of oil in the reser-
voir. If the oil reservoir is removed, one
quart of oil should be put into the upper
crankcase tray and five quarts in the res-
ervoir. The quantity of oil in the reservoir
Figure 2 can be determined by the bayonet gauge
attached to the filler cover. (See Figure 2.)
When the oil level is down to the "low" mark, one inch from the bottom of the
gauge, three quarts of oil remain in the reservoir. Two additional quarts are
required to bring the level up to the mark at the top of the "oil level range". When
the reservoir only is drained by removal of the drain plug at the rear of the
reservoir, five quarts of oil should be used, filling through the opening in the left
side of the crankcase. (See Figure 2.)
The red jewel mounted to the right of the center of the instrument group should
be lighted when the ignition is turned on but go out when the engine is running at
slightly more than idling speed. Flashing of the light at idling speed indicates
