(12) Bypass valve for engine oil filters Engine oil is drawn through suction screen (9) to engine oil pump (8). The engine oil pump is a gear-type pump which generates pressure for the engines lubrication system. The engine oil pump is bolted to the bottom of the engine block inside the engines crankcase. The front gear train of the engine drives the engine oil pumps gear. A pressure relief valve (7) is located within the engine oil pump group. The pressure relief valve controls the engine oil pressure to a maximum of 600 kPa (87 psi). Excess engine oil that is bypassed by the oil pump is returned to engine oil pan (8). Pressurized engine oil is directed through engine oil cooler (10). The oil cooler lowers the temperature of the engine oil before the oil passes through engine oil filters. When a pressure differential of approximately 144 kPa (21 psi) is reached, bypass valve (11) will allow oil to bypass the cooler.Engine oil filters (1) clean the oil before the oil enters the passages that are within the engine block. When a pressure differential of approximately 129 kPa (19 psi) is reached, the bypass valve will allow oil to bypass the oil filters. Two spin-on oil filters are used for these engines. The filters are located on the right side of the engine.

(18) Oil supply for shaft Engine oil flows from the oil filters into the oil gallery through port (17). These ports are located on both sides of the engine block. Main oil gallery (15) supplies oil to crankshafts main bearing journals (16) through passages that are drilled into the engine block. Passages that are drilled into the crankshaft connect the flow of oil from the main bearings to the rod bearings. A passage that is drilled through each of the piston rods connects the flow of oil from the rod bearing to the piston pin bearing. Oil passage (14) allows oil to flow. Piston cooling jets are also utilized in order to reduce the temperature of the piston. Each of the cooling jets direct a stream of engine oil to the bottom side of the piston.Also, engine oil flows into passages that are located directly above the crankshafts main journals. 1, 2 and 7. The first two passages provide lubrication for the camshaft gear assembly shaft (18).
