LUBRICATION SYSTEM

4-16.

GENERAL

Engine lubrication is essential for all components.

However, crankshaft bearings and diesel engine piston crowns are

critical components.

The pressure lubrication of the bearings and the cooling spray to the piston crowns are examples of

the dual purpose of the engine lubricant.

By-passing or rendering any portion of the lubrication system inoperative will

shorten the engine life.
