17 Oil Pan
A gear-type oil pump is directly driven by the crankshaft and
draws oil from the oil pan, via the suction pipe. If then passes
the pressured oil through a full-flow disposable oil filter, to the
main oil gallery in the cylinder Block. An oil pump pressure
relief valve and oil filter bypass valve are incorporated in the
system.
From the main oil gallery in the cylinder block, the cylinder
head and crankshaft main bearings are supplied with oil.
The camshaft bearings and hydraulic tappets are supplied
through the main feed galleries in the cylinder head. Vent
valves allow air to be expelled from the oil galleries in the
cylinder head. The balance shaft journals are directly fed from
the crankshaft main bearings. The connecting rod bearings are
fed via passages in the crankshaft. The oil returns to the oil
pan via passages in the cylinder block.
Service Precaution
CAUTION:
Always use the correct fastener in the proper location.
When you replace a fastener, use ONLY the exact part
number for that application. Holden will call out those
fasteners that require a replacement after removal. Holden
will also call out the fasteners that require thread lockers
or thread sealant. UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED, do
not use supplemental coatings (Paints, greases, or other
corrosion inhibitors) on threaded fasteners or fastener
joint interfaces. Generally, such coatings adversely affect
the fastener torque and the joint clamping force, and may
damage the fastener. When you install fasteners, use the
correct tightening sequence and specifications. Following
these instructions can help you avoid damage to parts and
systems.
