The engine lubrication system (Figure 2-11 and Figure 2-12) delivers lubricating oil
throughout the engine to various bearings, bushings, and engine components. The wet
sump lubrication system consists of an internal engine-driven oil pump, a fixed, non-
adjustable pressure relief valve, an oil sump and oil sensing ports. Various optional oil
cooler adapters allow connection of an optional remote mounted oil cooler.
