The fabricated steel oil pick-up is immersed in the oil reservoir to provide a supply to the oil pump during all normal
vehicle attitudes. A mesh screen in the inlet prevents debris from entering the oil system.
Oil Pump
The oil pump is installed on the crankshaft at the front of the engine. The pump inlet and outlet ports align with oil
passages in the bedplate.
The pumping element is an eccentric rotor, which is directly driven by flats on the crankshaft. An integral pressure relief
valve regulates pump outlet pressure at 4.5 bar (65.25 psi).
