LUBRICATION
General
The engine is lubricated by forced circulation performed by the
following parts:
- An oil gear pump is incorporated in an assembly that also
includes the vacuum pump (GPOD).
- A pressure control valve incorporated in the crankcase.
- A Modine-type heat exchanger with built-in safety valve.
- A double filtration oil filter with built-in safety valve.
Operation (see Figure 247).
Engine oil is drawn up from the sump by the oil pump (3)
via the suction strainer (2) and delivered under pressure to
the heat exchanger (5) where it is cooled.
The oil continues through the oil filter (6) and goes to
lubricate the relevant parts through ducts or pipes.
At the end of the lubrication cycle, the oil returns to the
sump by gravity. The oil filter can be excluded by the safety
valve built into it if it gets clogged. The heat exchanger is
also excluded by a safety valve if it gets clogged.
In addition, the lubrication oil supplies the hydraulic
automatic tightener (7) of the camshaft drive (8).
