ENGINE LUBRICATION SYSTEM

Lubrication system is a force-feed type. Oil is supplied under full pressure to crankshaft, connecting rods, camshaft bearings and valve lifters. A controlled volume of oil is supplied to rocker arms and push rods. All other moving parts are lubricated by splash or gravity flow. Oil pump is driven by an intermediate shaft connected to distributor.
