Engine Lubrication System: Notes

System is a full-flow, filtered, pressure-fed type oil system. Oil pump is mounted in front engine cover and is driven by crankshaft. Pressurized oil is routed through main oil gallery, running length of the cylinder block, supplying main and rod bearings through secondary passages. Pistons are lubricated from slots in connecting rod assemblies and from rod bearing throw off. Camshaft and valve mechanisms are lubricated from a full length oil gallery supplied via crankcase main gallery.
