INTRODUCTION - CRANKCASE SUMP AND COVERS

3.2 JTS

Technical specifications

It is a structural part of the engine with mechanical functions in addition to containing the engine oil because it is directly connected to the rear drive idler casing and to the two lower reaction links.

The oil sump is made from aluminium alloy with obvious advantages in terms of reduction in weight and heat exchange.

The oil sump incorporates the draught, the anti-splash partition and the oil level sensor; the draught is matched to the lower part of the crankcase with an o-ring seal.

Oil seals on crankshaft

The front crankshaft seal takes the form of an oil seal fitted on the front engine cover.

The rear crankshaft seal takes the form of an oil seal incorporated in the rear engine cover.

2.2 JTS

SPECIFICATIONS

This is a structural part of the engine that performs a mechanical role as well as containing the engine oil because it is directly connected to the intermediate shaft mount.

The oil sump is in aluminium alloy and contains special partitions that prevent the engine oil slopping around too much when the pump could end up drawing in air.

The oil level and temperature sensor keeps the level and the temperature of the oil lubricant oil inside the sump in check.

This sensor is connected to a coupling which interfaces with the Instrument Panel Node (NQS).
