DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION 1.To cylinder block main gallery (from rear of oil cooler housing)
2.Oil cooler housing
3.Oil pressure switch
4.Full-flow filter
5.Centrifuge filter
6.Return to sump
7.Flow from oil pump (via cylinder block)
8.Oil cooler matrix
When the engine temperature is below 74°C, the thermostat in the full-flow filter adaptor housing is closed and a
proportion of the oil flow to the main oil gallery is diverted to the oil cooler to supply an oil feed to the turbocharger
bearings. Oil passes through the oil cooler to the front gallery in the oil cooler housing where there is a tapping to
connect the feed pipe to the turbocharger. Oil used by the turbocharger bearings is returned to the sump through
an oil drain pipe which connects to a port in the LH side of the cylinder block.
The remainder of the oil flow leaving the full-flow filter outlet is passed into the cylinder block via a port at the rear
of oil cooler rear gallery.
When the oil temperature rises above 74°C the thermostat in the full-flow filter housing begins to open to allow a
proportion of the oil from the full-flow filter to pass through the oil cooler before it reaches the main oil gallery in the
cylinder block. In this instance, oil supply to the turbocharger bearings is fed directly from the full-flow filter without
first passing through the oil cooler. Between 74°C and 88°C the thermostat valve plunger opens by about 9 mm
(0.3 in) to allow proportionally more oil to flow through the oil cooler before being passed to the cylinder block main
oil delivery gallery. Above 88°C the thermostat valve continues to open by about 1mm (0.03 in) for every 10°C
increase in temperature until the valve is fully open, when all the oil flow to the cylinder block is forced to pass to
the cylinder block via the oil cooler.
An oil pressure switch is located in a port in the rear gallery of the oil cooler housing to sense the oil pressure level
before flow enters the main oil gallery in the engine block. A warning lamp in the instrument cluster is switched on
if the oil pressure is detected as being too low.
Drillings from the cylinder block main oil gallery direct oil to the crankshaft main bearings and cross drillings in the
crankshaft direct oil to the big-end bearings. An additional five drillings in the cylinder block supply oil at reduced
pressure to the oil squirt jets for piston cooling and gudgeon pin lubrication.
Oil supply from the cylinder block is then passed to the cylinder head galleries through a non-return valve which is
included as an integral item in the lower face of the cylinder head.
