Engine Oiling System

Oil is supplied under pressure by gear-type pump, driven by distributor, which in turn is driven by helical gear on camshaft. The main oil gallery (down center of block above camshaft) feeds oil through drilled passages to camshaft and crankshaft to lubricate bearings. The valve lifter oil gallery feeds lifters which, through hollow push rods, feed rocker arms. All other components are lubricated by splash or nozzle.
