MAIN LUBRICATING OIL SYSTEM
Oil tubes at the center of each main bearing "A" frame conduct oil from the main manifold to the upper half of the main crankshaft bearings. Drilled passages in the crankshaft supply oil to the connecting rod bearings, damper, and accessory drive gear at the front of the crankshaft. Leak-off oil from the adjacent main bearings lubricates the crankshaft thrust bearings.
Oil from the main lube oil manifold enters the gear train at the rear of the engine, at the idler gear stubshaft bracket. Oil passages in the stubshaft bracket distribute the oil. One passage conducts oil to both the right and left bank camshaft drive gear stubshaft brackets and to a manifold connected to the turbocharger oil filter. After passing through the filter, the oil enters the return line in the manifold and flows back to the idler gear stubshaft. A passage in the idler gear stubshaft bracket directs lube oil to the upper and lower stubshaft bearings. Filtered oil enters the turbocharger oil system from the upper idler gear stubshaft.
An oil passage in the turbocharger filter head, parallel to the filter output line, is connected to a passage in the turbocharger oil manifold. An oil pressure line is connected between the manifold passage and the low oil pressure device in the governor.
Oil enters the hollow bore camshafts from the camshaft drive stubshafts. Radial holes in the camshaft conduct oil to each camshaft bearing. An oil line from one camshaft bearing at each cylinder supplies oil to the rocker arm shaft, rocker arm cam follower assemblies, hydraulic lash adjusters, and the injector rocker arm button. Leak-off oil returns to the oil pan through passages between the top deck and the oil pan.
Passages in the turbocharger conduct oil to the turbocharger bearings, idler gear, planet gear assembly, and auxiliary drive bore.
Considerable heat will remain in the metal parts of the turbine when the engine is shut down, and if the oil supply to the turbocharger was shut off suddenly, this heat would penetrate the turbo-charger bearing area. To prevent possible over-heating of the turbocharger, oil is automatically supplied to the turbocharger after stopping the engine.
Protection is provided against a hot oil condition by a thermostatic valve. Descriptive information is contained in Section 13, Protective Devices
