The engine lubrication system is of the force-feed type in which oil is supplied under full pressure to the crankshaft (6303) and connecting rod bearings (6211), valve tappets (6500) and camshaft bearings (6261). From the valve tappets, a controlled volume of oil is supplied to the rocker arms (6564) through hollow push rods (6565). All other moving parts are lubricated by gravity flow or splash.

Oil Pump
The heart of the lubrication system is a full-pressure aluminum pump. The high capacity G-rotor pump is driven by an oil pump intermediate shaft (6A618) from the distributor. The pressure is relief-valve controlled.
Oil Pan
The oil pan is a stamped-steel part that bolts to the bottom of the engine front cover and cylinder block (6010).
The oil pan (6675) acts as a reservoir, holding lubrication that is pumped through the engine (6007) by the oil pump after start-up.
