Gear-type oil pump delivers full pressure lubrication through full-flow oil filter to main oil gallery. Main oil gallery feeds crankshaft and camshaft bearings through drilled passages in block.

Valve lifter oil gallery feeds valve lifters. From lifters, oil is routed through hollow push rods to upper valve train components. Timing chain and sprockets are lubricated by oil drainage from No. 1 camshaft bearing. Pistons and piston pins are lubricated by oil splash. Non-adjustable oil pressure regulator is located in oil pump body.
