Engine Oiling System: Notes

The V-6 engine is pressure feed by a rotor type oil pump, which filters all oil through a full flow filter before entering engine. An oil gallery supplies oil to crankshaft main bearings, from there through slanted passages in crankshaft to connecting rod journals. Connecting rod big ends have a squirt hole which sprays oil on thrust side of cylinder bores. Oil from the oil gallery also feeds camshaft main bearings, which have grooves 180° of their circumference. From these grooves passages lead to distributor drive gear and rocker arm shafts.
