NOTICE
Never attempt to machine the cylinder because it has a thin liner thickness.

4. Cylinder Block
Lightweight aluminum alloy is used for the cylinder block.
By producing the thin cast-iron liners and cylinder block as a unit, compaction is realized.
Air passage holes are provided in the crankshaft bearing area of the cylinder block. As a result, the air at
the bottom of the cylinder flows smoother, and pumping loss (back pressure at the bottom of the piston
generated by the piston’s reciprocal movement) is reduced to improve the engine’s output.
The oil filter and the air conditioning compressor brackets are integrated into the crankcase. Also, the
water pump swirl chamber and thermostat housing are integrated into the cylinder block.

LUBRICATION SYSTEM
1. General
The lubrication circuit is fully pressurized and oil passes through an oil filter.
The trochoid gear type oil pump is chain-driven by the crankshaft.
The oil filter is attached downward from the crankcase to improve serviceability.
Along with the adoption of the VVT-i system, the cylinder head is provided with a VVT-i controller and
a camshaft timing oil control valve. This system is operated by the engine oil.

2. Oil Jet
Piston oil jets for cooling and lubricating the pistons are used in the cylinder block.
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.
