DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION The aluminium alloy, tin coated pistons have two
compression and an oil control ring and are secured
to the connecting rods by semi-floating gudgeon pins
which are an interference fit in the small-end bush.
Gudgeon pins are offset towards the thrust side of the
pistons to reduce frictional drag.
Plain, big-end bearing shells are fitted to each
connecting rod.The internally toothed timing belt is driven from a gear
which is keyed to the crankshaft, belt tension being
controlled by a semi-automatic tensioner.
The trochoidal type oil pump is mounted on the front
of the engine and carries the crankshaft front oil seal.
Drive to the pump is via a Woodruff key inserted in the
crankshaft.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Lubrication
Oil is drawn from the pressed steel sump through a
strainer (1) and into the oil pump (2); excess pressure
being relieved by a pressure relief valve (3) integral
with the pump. The low oil pressure sensor (4)
registers the oil pressure in the main oil gallery on the
outflow side of the filter. Pressurised oil passes
through the full flow oil filter (5) to internal drillings in
the crankshaft where it is directed to each main
bearing and to the big end bearings via Nos. 1, 3 and
5 main bearings (6). An internal drilling in the cylinder
block directs oil, via a restrictor (7) to the cylinder
head where it passes through further internal drillings
to the hydraulic tappets and camshaft journals (8).
Gudgeon pin and small-end bush lubrication is by
splash from the big-end bearings.Crankcase ventilation
With the exception of two hoses connected from the
inlet camshaft cover to the inlet manifold and throttle
housing all crankcase ventilation is via internal voids
in the cylinder head and block. The inlet camshaft
cover carries a wire gauze flame trap located over the
breather pipe connections.
