Item Description
Yellow High pressure oil flow
Blue Oil return/low pressure oil flow

Oil Pump

The engine lubrication system is of the force­feed type in which oil is supplied under full pressure to the crankshaft,
connecting rod bearings, timing chain tensioners, piston oil cooling jets and VCT solenoids. The flow of oil to the valve
tappets and valve train is controlled by a restricting orifice located in the cylinder head, front camshaft cap.

The lubrication system is designed to provide optimum oil flow to critical components of the engine through its entire
operating range.

The heart of the system is a positive displacement internal gear oil pump.

Generically, this design is known as a gerotor pump, which operates as follows:

The oil pump is mounted on the front face of the cylinder block.
The inner rotor is piloted on the crankshaft post and is driven through flats on the crankshaft.
System pressure is limited by an integral, internally­vented relief valve which directs the bypassed oil back to the
inlet side of the oil pump.
Oil pump displacement has been selected to provide adequate volume to make sure of correct oil pressure both at
hot idle and maximum speed.
The relief valve calibration protects the system from excessive pressure during high­viscosity conditions.
The relief valve is designed to provide adequate connecting rod bearing lubrication under high temperature and
high­speed conditions.

Valve Train

The valve train uses direct acting mechanical buckets (DAMB). The camshaft lobes are positioned directly above
mechanical buckets which are positioned on top of the valves.

Twin Independent Variable Cam Timing (Ti­VCT)

The twin independent VCT system allows variable control of the valves that optimizes combustion at full load providing
improved power and low speed torque (broadening the torque curve) which enables variable valve overlap which provides
better fuel economy and emissions and provides optimized cold start operation with improved exhaust emissions

NOTICE: During engine repair procedures, cleanliness is extremely important. Any foreign material, including any
material created while cleaning gasket surfaces that enters the oil passages, coolant passages or the oil pan, may
cause engine failure.

NOTE: Assembly of the engine requires various inspections/measurements of the engine components. These
inspections/measurements will aid in determining if the engine components will require replacement. Refer to Section 303­
00.

NOTE: If the cylinder head(s) is replaced, a new secondary timing chain tensioner will need to be installed.

1. Using a hex bit, install the oil piston cool valves.

2. NOTE: This step is for selecting the correct main bearings.

NOTE: The #1 main bearing is at the front of the engine block.

Select the crankshaft main bearings for each crankshaft journal.

Record the code that is on the cylinder block face.

Record the code that is on the crankshaft flange.

The first letter is for main No. 1 and the next letters are for mains 2, 3 and 4.

3. NOTE: This chart is continued in the next step.

NOTE: This chart is for selecting main bearings 1 and 4 only.

Using the data recorded earlier and the Bearing Select Fit Chart, Standard Bearings, determine the required
bearing grade for main bearings 1 and 4.

Read the first letter of the engine block main bearing code and the first letter of the crankshaft main bearing
code.

Read down the column below the engine block main bearing code letter and across the row next to the
crankshaft main bearing code letter, until the 2 intersect. This is the required bearing grade(s) for the No. 1
crankshaft main bearing.

As an example, if the engine block code letter is "M" and the crankshaft code letter is "M", the correct bearing
grade for this main bearing is a "2" for the upper bearing and a "2" for the lower bearing.

Repeat the above steps using the fourth letter of the block and crankshaft codes to select the No. 4 bearing.

2. NOTICE: Place clean, lint­free shop towels over exposed engine cavities. Carefully remove the towels so
foreign material is not dropped into the engine. Any foreign material (including any material created while
cleaning gasket surfaces) that enters the oil passages or the oil pan, may cause engine failure.

NOTICE: Do not use wire brushes, power abrasive discs or 3M™ Roloc® Bristle Disk (2­in white part
number 07528) to clean the sealing surfaces. These tools cause scratches and gouges that make leak paths.
They also cause contamination that will cause premature engine failure. Remove all traces of the gasket.

Make sure that the mating faces are clean and free of foreign material.
