In an automotive engine with a full-pressure lubrication system, how do the connecting rod bearings receive pressurized motor oil?
- Through internal passages drilled through the crankshaft from the main bearing journalsCevap
- BBy relying solely on crankshaft counterweights splashing fluid upward from the oil pan
- CThrough coolant passages surrounding the cylinder walls and combustion chambers
- DBy blending motor oil directly into the incoming air-fuel charge during the intake stroke
Cevap
Pressurized motor oil reaches the connecting rod bearings through internal passages drilled through the crankshaft from the main bearing journals.
In a full-pressure lubrication system, the oil pump delivers pressurized oil to the main oil gallery in the engine block. The oil flows into the main bearing saddles through holes in the upper bearing shells. From the main journals, the oil travels through diagonal passages drilled internally through the crankshaft to lubricate the connecting rod journals and bearings.
