Lubrication System Schematic Layout :



Description :

The lubrication system layout is as shown in the

schematic above. The oil pump is mounted on the

crankshaft pulley side. Oil is drawn up from the

sump through oil pump strainer and passes

through the pump to the oil cooler and then to the

filter.

The filtered oil flows through the internal drilled

holes into the crankshaft oil gallery from here it is

supplied to connecting rod bearings and also to

the main bearings by means of intersecting

passages drilled in the crankshaft. It is then

injected through the cooling nozzle to the

underside of the piston to cool it.

One more path takes the oil up from the

crankshaft oil gallery to camshaft oil gallery in

cylinder head and lubricates the camshaft. The

camshaft oil gallery also provides the oil needed

by the HLA. There is separate line that goes from

the cylinder head to lubricate the turbocharger

and the return line is connected to the cylinder

block. The relieved oil drains back to oil sump.
