LUBRICATION

CIRCUIT

The

pressure
lubrication

of
the

engine
is

accomplished
by
a
tro

choid

type
oil

pump
This

pump

draws
the

oil

through
the
oil
strainer

into

pump

housing
and
then
forces
it

through
the
full
flow

type
oil
filter

into
the

main
oil

gallery
Part
of
the

oil
is

supplied
to
all
crankshaft

bearings
chain

tensioner
and

Oil

supplied
to

bearings
is
fed

DESCRIPTION

The

from
the

air
before

it

and

engine
It
also

muffles

noise

resulting
from
the

the

engine

The
air

cleaner

especially
designed

for

improved
exhaust

control

is
referred
to

as
Automatic

In
order
to

reduce
HC

when
the

temperature
is

below
300C

860F
the

automatic

temperature

maintains
the
