LUBRICATION

CIRCUIT

The

pressure
lubrication

of
the

engine
is

accomplished
by
a
tro

choid

type
oil

pump
This

pump

draws
the

oil

through
the
oil
strainer

into

pump

housing
and
then
forces
it

through
the
full
flow

type
oil
filter

into
the

main
oil

gallery
Part
of
the

oil
is

supplied
to
all
crankshaft

bearings
chain

tensioner
and

timing

chain

Oil

supplied
to
crankshaft

bearings
is
fed
to

connecting

drilled

passages

in

The

other

part
of
the

is

brought
to

the

gallery
in
the

to

provide
lubrication

of

Tem
coupling
is

a

type
of
fan

coupling
which
is

provided
with
a

temperature
control

system

The
conventional

coupling

always

slips
the
fan
at

a
high

speed
under

a

constant
ratio

regardless
of

the

engine

cooling

requirement

The

slipping
ratio

of
the
Tern

coupling
however

is

properly
changed

with
the

cooling
requirement

The
coiled

thermostat

installed
on

the
front

portion
of

the

detects

temperature

of

The

is

directly

tempera

ture
and
the
inside

is

opened
or
closed

as

required
and
thus

the

is

performed

When
the
air

rises

the

bimetal
is

expanded
and
the

valve
is

opened
silicon

to
the

When
the

silicone
oil
is

not

supplied
to
the

oil
in

the

driving

is

accumu

lated
on

due
to
the

led

into
the

Now

oil
is

eliminated

and
the

is

placed

With
this

system
when

THERMOSTAT

A

thermostat
is

mounted
in
the
thermostat

housing
at

the

cylinder

RADIATOR

The
radiator
is

a
conventional
down

flow

type
having

top
and

bottom

tanks
to

distribute
the
coolant
flow

uniformly
through
the
vertical

of

The

valve

consisting
of

and

valve

helps
to

prevent
the
coolant
from

boiling
by
giving

it
How

when

the

pressure
is

atmospheric

pressure
the

vacu

um
valve
allows

to
