Engine Oiling System

Oiling system is force feed type using a full flow oil filter. Oil enters main oil gallery from the oil filter and flows to main bearings and camshaft bearings. Connecting rod bearings are supplied from front and rear main bearings via inclined passages. A squirt hole in each rod bearing end supplies oil to piston thrust side of cylinder. The auxiliary shaft is connected with the main oil gallery. See Fig. 8. 

The distributor shaft receives oil from a passage drilled in the auxiliary shaft. Cam and cam follower arms are supplied from camshaft bearings and valve lash adjusters are oiled from drilled oil passages in cylinder head.
