What is oil pump and oil filter

OIL PUMP AND OIL FILTER

The oil pump is a trochoid type driven from the primary drive  gear through the oil pump drive and supplies oil to all the rotating components.

    The oil filter is mounted directly on the crankshaft. The impurities in the oil, due to its heavier weight, are deposited along the rib of the oil filter cap by centrifugal force and only the purified oil is allowed to be supplied to the various components of the engine.

    Discharge volume..2.4 l per min./10,000RPM

Lubricating system

    The oil in the crankcase is picked up by the oil pump and pressure fed through the right crankcase where it is diverted into two routes. In one direction, it is routed through the passage in the right crankcase cover, oil filter and to the crankshaft. The other direction, the oil is routed through the passage in the cylinder head stud, to the cylinder head and then to the camshafts and rockers arms.

    From the right crankcase, the oil is also supplied under pressure to the transmission.
