The oil pressure switch is a normally closed switch that is opened by oil pressure acting on the switch.

When the key is on and

no oil pressure acts on the switch, the contacts close triggering an alarm or shutdown. Always check the oil pressure warning
lamp or alarm at key on to check that the circuit is working.
For cylinder number one, this drilling aligns with a vertical drilling in the cylinder head. For cylinders two through six, the oil
then flows to a transfer slot in the head gasket.
The lubrication groove in each end of the shaft also directs oil to two drillings. These drillings provide a path for oil flow. One
drilling directs oil flow to the foot pad that contacts the crosshead. Oil from this drilling then travels down the crosshead and
lubricates the valve stems. The second drilling in the rocker lever directs oil to the adjusting screw. Oil flow around the
adjusting screw lubricates the push tube sockets.
