Operation
Lubrication
Oil is fed from the main gallery via five drillings, one
to each of the main bearings. A groove around the
diameter of the upper main bearing shell allows oil
transfer to cross drillings in the crankshaft to feed
each of the big end bearings. Crankshaft gear is
'splash' lubricated. Front and rear crankshaft oil seals
prevent oil leakage from, and dirt ingress to, the
engine.
