Service Tip
Valve clearance adjustment is not necessary because a hydraulic lash adjuster is used in this model.

4. Timing Chain Cover
The timing chain cover has an integrated construction consisting of the cooling system (water pump and
water passage) and the lubrication system (oil pump and oil passage). Thus, the number of parts has been
reduced to reduce weight.
5. Hydraulic Lash Adjuster
The hydraulic lash adjuster, which is located at the fulcrum of the roller rocker arm, consists primarily of
a plunger, plunger spring, check ball, and check ball spring.
The engine oil that is supplied by the cylinder head and the built-in spring actuates the hydraulic lash
adjuster. The oil pressure and the spring force that act on the plunger push the roller rocker arm against
the cam, in order to adjust the valve clearance that is created during the opening and closing of the valve.
As a result, engine noise is reduced.

2. Oil Pump
A compact cycloid rotor type oil pump directly driven by the crankshaft is used.
This oil pump has used an internal relief method which circulates relief oil to the suction passage in the
oil pump. This aims to minimize oil level change in the oil pan, reduce friction, and reduce air mixing rate
in the oil.
3. Oil Jet
Oil jets for cooling and lubricating the pistons have been provided in the cylinder block, in the center of
the right and left banks.
These oil jets contain a check valve to prevent oil from being fed when the oil pressure is low. This prevents
the overall oil pressure in the engine from dropping.
