2. Oil Filter :
The oil filter used is a "Spin On Type" fitted.
The main function of oil filter is to filter all
contaminants that get ingested into the engine,
along with traces of worn out metals from
bearings and other internal parts.
The oil enters the oil filter under pressure through
the holes on the perimeter of the base plate.
The oil then passes through the filter element
where it is cleaned, and then flows to the central
tube and back into the engine, oil gallery.
3. Oil Strainer :
The oil strainer is fitted to the oil pump along with
O-ring, through which the oil is drawn from oil
sump and supplied to the oil gallery. The strainer
acts like a filter and blocks the contaminants from
entering the oil pump.
4. Oil Pressure Switch Sensor :
Oil pressure switch sends the signal to low oil
pressure indicator lamp provided on the vehicle
instrument panel by closing the circuit to ground
when the oil pressure is low / below the optimum
value.
5. Hydraulic Lash Adjuster (HLA)
Hydraulic Lash Adjuster supports the pivot end of
the rocker arm while automatically controlling the
rocker arm position to keep it in contact with the
camshafts and valve.
The range of the hydraulic lash adjuster
accommodates engine build tolerances; hence no
adjustment is required during engine assembly. At
all engine working conditions it maintains zero
clearance between rollers rockers and valve stem.
Maintenance
Hydraulic lash adjuster uses Engine oil pressure
for its operation. In case of a freshly assembled
Engine, do not run for a long time; there are
chances of valve train noise / tappet noise
appearing when the engine is started.
