Engine oil pump (14) has three gears that are driven by the front gear train. The engine oil pump pulls engine
oil from the pan through suction bell (16) and elbow (15). The suction bell has a screen in order to strain the
engine oil.

Relief valve (13) controls the pressure of the engine oil from the engine oil pump. If the engine oil pressure
from the pump becomes excessive, the relief valve opens and some of the engine oil returns to the engine oil
pan. This prevents high pressure engine oil from damaging the O-ring seals for the engine oil cooler and the
engine oil filter.

Engine oil cooler (11) reduces the temperature of the engine oil. The engine oil cooler has bypass valve (12)
that is designed to open at a differential pressure of 180 ± 20 kPa (26 ± 3 psi).

(10) Bypass valve

(17) Engine oil filter housing

The engine oil filters are located in engine oil filter housing (17). Bypass valve (10) is located in the engine
oil filter housing.

When the engine is cold, the pressure forces the bypass valves open. This provides immediate lubrication to
the engine when cold engine oil with high viscosity causes a restriction.

After the engine warms up, the differential pressure on the bypass valves decreases and the bypass valves
close. The engine oil flows normally through the engine oil cooler and through the engine oil filter.

The bypass valves will also open if there is a restriction in the engine oil cooler or the engine oil filter. This
allows the engine to be lubricated if the engine oil cooler is plugged or if the engine oil filter is dirty.

Clean engine oil from the engine oil filters goes through adapter (9) into the block. Part of the engine oil goes
to left camshaft oil gallery (2). The remainder of the engine oil goes to main engine oil gallery (1) .

Engine oil galleries (2) and (3) supply engine oil through drilled passages to the camshaft bearings. The
engine oil circulates around each camshaft journal. The engine oil then flows through the cylinder head and
the rocker arm housing to the rocker arm shaft. Some of the engine oil lubricates the valve stems. The
remainder of the engine oil drains from the cylinder head in order to lubricate the push rods, the valve lifters,
the camshaft, and the camshaft bearings.

Engine oil from main engine oil gallery (1) is supplied to the main bearings through drilled passages. Drilled
holes in the crankshaft supply engine oil from the main bearings to the connecting rod bearings. Engine oil
from the rear of the main engine oil gallery goes to the rear of right camshaft oil gallery (3) .

Sequence valves (7) and (8) allow engine oil from main engine oil gallery (1) to enter engine oil galleries (4)
for piston cooling jets (5). The sequence valves begin to open at approximately 130 kPa (19 psi). The
sequence valves will not allow engine oil into gallery (4) for the piston cooling jets until there is pressure in
the main engine oil gallery. This reduces the amount of time that is necessary for pressure buildup when the
engine is started. This also helps maintain engine oil pressure at idle speed.

(5) Piston cooling jet

Piston cooling jet (5) is located in the engine block below each piston. Each piston cooling jet has two tubes
with open ends. One tube distributes engine oil to an opening in the bottom of the piston for an engine oil
gallery in the piston. This gallery provides engine oil to a manifold behind the ring band of the piston. The
manifold provides engine oil to a slot (groove) in the side of both piston pin bores. The other tube directs
engine oil to the center of the piston. This provides lubrication to the piston pin and the piston undercrown.
This also helps cool the piston.

Lines for engine oil

(6) Supply line

(18) Drain line

Supply line (6) provides engine oil for lubrication of the turbocharger bearings. The engine oil flows to the
flywheel housing through drain line (18) .

Engine oil is provided to the front and rear gear groups through drilled passages in the front housings, the rear
housings, and the faces of the cylinder block. These passages are connected to engine oil galleries (2) and (3)
for the camshafts.

After the oil has completed lubrication, the engine oil returns to the engine oil pan.
