Oil Pressure Regulator Valve: Description and Operation
^
System pressure is limited by an integral, internally vented relief valve which directs the bypass oil back to the inlet side of the oil pump.
^
Relief valve calibration protects the system from excessive pressure during high viscosity conditions yet is designed to provide adequate
lubrication under high temperature and high speed conditions.
^
Oil pump displacement has been selected to provide adequate volume to ensure proper oil pressure both at hot idle and maximum speed.
