Lubrication system in an engine

Explain working of Lubrication System in an Engine? You might be using your automobile everyday but it would be nice to know about its working. There are various methods to know about the working of combustion engine. You would have the clarity of maintaining your car like changing your engine lubrication oils with respect to time. Are you aware where does the oil goes or what is its work? And why it needs to be altered? Keeping the things oily is the first task of the engine and not to keep it dry. It would be annoying to tolerate the eardrum-piercing sounds due to friction inside a dry cylinder. It is good to lubricate the engine with automotive lubricants. The engine keeps working therefore you cannot avoid the friction completely. So this fueling can provide a smooth running thereby reducing the wear and tear on the engine parts. Clean oil is required to filled in the engine for good performance. Do not get misunderstood by the word lubrication because during your normal visit to shops they ask you to have a lube job and they mean oiling the chassis and suspension system and it has nothing to do with lubrication system in engine.

Lubrication System It is considered to give a flow at the accurate temperature with clean oils with proper pressure to each part of the engine. From the sump the oil is sucked out into the pump and it is pressured between the oil filter and force is fed to the main bearings and to the oil pressure gauge. This lubricant is passed through the main bearings and the drilled passages in the crankshaft after that on the bearings of the connection rod. Piston-pin bearings and cylinder walls get the oil for lubrication when distributed by the rotating crankshaft. The excess is being scraped by the lower ring in the piston. The main supply passage from a tributary or a branch is the main supply passage for each camshaft bearings.

Journal Bearings If worn takes place in crankshaft journals will have the low pressure oil and put the oil inside the engine. The rings will get overcome by the unnecessary splash and can make the engine to use that oil. Replacing the bearing inserts can replace the worn bearing surfaces. Bearing wear takes rapidly at a cold start as there is less or no oil film between the shaft and bearings.


Piston rings- cylinder Avoid the leakage of the air mixture or fuel with piston rings and therefore use the sliding seal. During compression and combustion it gets fragile into the oil sump. On the contrary combustion leaks keep the oil in the sump, a place where they get burnt and lost. At the center of the cylinder wall the hydrodynamic lubrication prevails and the piston rings of the wonderfully maintained car is required for the lower wear and friction.
