DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION

CRANKSHAFT, SUMP AND OIL PUMP

The crankshaft, sump and oil pump components are described below:

Sump
The sump is a wet-type, of aluminium construction and is sealed to the engine block by means of a rubber gasket
and twenty fixing bolts. The four bolts at the gearbox end of the sump are longer than the other sixteen bolts.

The sump gasket incorporates compression limiters (integrated metal sleeves) at the bolt holes, which are
included to prevent distortion of the gasket when the sump to cylinder block bolts are being tightened.

An oil drain plug is fitted at the bottom of the oil sump reservoir. An oil return drain pipe is also attached to the oil
sump which returns oil from the centrifugal filter.

Stiffener Plate
The stiffener plate assembly provides lower engine block rigidity and utilises dowels to align it to the bottom of the
cylinder block. A rotary oil pump is integral with the stiffener plate and an oil pick-up and strainer assembly is fitted
to the underside of the stiffener plate. The stiffener and oil pump assembly is secured to the cylinder block by 22
bolts.
