OIL JET VALVE CONSTRUCTION/OPERATION [L8, LF]


id0111c6100500


Construction

•  The oil jet valves are installed in the cylinder block (in the main journal). The oil jet valve nozzles are installed pointed toward the back surface of each piston.
•  The oil jet valves are designed to maintain optimum oil pressure in the engine by controlling the oil injection according to the oil pressure applied to the check-ball in the oil jet valves.

Operation

•  Oil pressure applied to the check-ball in the oil jet valve opens and closes the oil passage-way to the nozzle and controls oil injection starting and stopping.
•  Oil pressure greater than the specified value applied to the check-ball in the oil jet valve opens the oil passage to the spring-pressed nozzle, starting injection. Conversely, oil pressure less than the specified value applied to the check-ball blocks the oil passage by spring force, stopping injection.
