3.5.2 LUBRICATION SYSTEM:
The engine has a forced lubrication system. The main functions of the Lubrication systems are as follows:
• Lubricates moving engine parts by forming a thin film of oil between components and prevents
metal to metal contact
• This oil film is capable of absorbing shocks in Con-rod Bearings and Gear train
• Flowing oil absorbs heat and cools engine parts
• Oil also collects carbon & metal particles formed during engine operation and flows it to the oil pan
• Oil neutralizes the acids and alkali produced during engine operation & prevents corrosion
• Seals compression by forming a thin oil film on cylinder liner walls
