Engine Lubrication System: Notes

Oil pump, mounted on front of cylinder block, behind rear timing chain case, draws oil from pan through a screen to oil pump. Oil is delivered to full-flow filter and main oil gallery. Main oil gallery supplies oil to crankshaft main bearings and drilled passages in crankshaft. Passages from main gallery to lifter guides supply oil to camshaft, rocker arms and lifters. Regulator valve is located on oil pump, and is accessible with oil pan removed.
