Auxiliary Shaft: Description and Operation

The iron accessory shaft has two bearing journals and is housed in the forward facing side of the block. A hydrodynamic seal, installed in an aluminum
housing attached to the block, provides retention, shaft thrust, and oil control. The accessory shaft is driven by the timing belt through a sintered iron
sprocket mounted on the nose of the accessory shaft. The accessory shaft in turn drives the oil pump and distributor.
