(17) Main oil galleryEngine oil pump (12) is a gear-type pump that generates flow for the lubrication system. The engine oil pump is mounted on the back side of the front gear housing. The pump gears are driven by a splined shaft connected to the front gear train. Oil is drawn into the inlet of the pump through a tube and through suction screen (13).The pressure regulator housing (11) is mounted to the engine oil pump. Within the regulator housing, a pressure regulator valve controls the engine oil pressure to 600 100 kPa (87 15 psi) at rated speed of the engine. In the case of a problem with the pressure regulator valve, pressure relief valve (7) limits the maximum pump outlet pressure to 850 kPa (123 psi). Both of the valves return excess engine oil to engine oil pan (10).Scavenge oil pump (14) transfers oil from the shallow end of the engine oil pan to the oil sump. The scavenge oil pump is driven by the front gear train.The pressurized oil is directed through engine oil coolers (1). The engine oil coolers lower the temperature of the engine oil before the engine oil is sent to the filters. If the oil coolers become restricted, engine oil cooler bypass valve (10) allows engine oil to bypass the oil coolers. If the pressure differential across the oil coolers exceeds 180 kPa (26 psi), the bypass valve will allow engine oil to bypass the oil coolers. The oil coolers are mounted to the left side of the engine.A supply line crosses the engine below the oil pan to supply oil to Self-Cleaning Oil Filter (SCF) (2) on the right side. The SCF cleans the engine oil.An oil line connected to the filter housing provides filtered oil to the high-pressure fuel pump (3). Return oil from the pump drains through the front cover and into the oil pan.Backflush oil from the self cleaning oil filter flows to the centrifugal oil filter (COF) (16). Return oil from the COF drains through the rear housing and into the oil pan.Clean engine oil from the SCF flows to the rear of the engine through a line into the cylinder block and main oil gallery (17). The main oil gallery is cast into engine block (8). The main oil gallery supplies oil to the camshaft bearings through drilled passages in the engine block. The engine oil flows around each camshaft journal to the camshaft follower and lifter assemblies. Engine oil flows from the main oil gallery to each cylinder head through extra drilled passages that provide oil to the rocker
