LUBRICATION

CIRCUIT

The

pressure

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

THERMOSTAT

A

pellet
type
thermostat
is

mounted
in
the
thermostat

housing
at

the

cylinder

of
the
thermostat

The

RADIATOR

The
radiator
is

a
conventional
down

flow

type
having

top
and

bottom

tanks
to

distribute
the
coolant
flow

uniformly
through
the
vertical
tube
of

radiator

radiator
filler

designed
to

maintain

psi
above

atmospheric

pressure

The
relief
valve

consisting
of

a

blow
off

valve
and
a

vacuum
valve

helps
to

prevent
the
coolant
from

boiling
by
giving

pressure
to
it
How

ever
when

the

pressure
is
reduced

below

atmospheric

pressure
the

vacu

um
valve
allows
air

to
re
enter

the

radiator

preventing
