LUBRICATION
SYSTEM
SER\(ICE
DESCRIPTION
The lubrication system uses a trochoid gear pump and a full
flow oil filter. The oil pump is driven through the
Oldham's
coupling at the rear end
of
the fuel injection pump camshaft.
Oil from the oil pump flows into the cartridge type oil filter
via the relief valve. After being filtered by this filter, oil is
delivered to various engine parts through oil galleries in the
engine block.

The cartridge type oil filter,
in
which the filter body is inte-
gral with the filter element, is easy to handle.
Oil from the oil
pump is led into the filter element. When a pressure difference
between before and after the element exceeds 1 kglcm
2
due to
excessive clogging
of
the element, a bypass valve in the ele-
ment will open an oil passage bypassing the element.
As a
result, oil flows to various engine parts without filtration.
Therefore it is important to replace the oil filter regularly. The
oil filter should be replaced after the initial
50
hours
of
opera-
tion and thereafter every
100 hours
of
operation.
The trochoid gear type oil
pump
is mounted on the back
of
. the fuel injection pump on the right side
of
the cylinder block.
The oil pump houses a relief valve.
If
pump delivery oil pres-
sure exceeds 4
kglcm2,
the relief valve will open to by-pass oil
into the oil pan, thus preventing further oil pressure rise.
