Lubrication System
3124 690 07 Rev. H KohlerEngines.com
This engine uses a full pressure lubrication system
which delivers oil under pressure to crankshaft,
camshaft, connecting rod bearing surfaces, and
hydraulic valve lifters.
A high-efciency gerotor oil pump maintains high oil ow
and oil pressure, even at low speeds and high operating
temperatures. A pressure relief valve limits maximum
pressure of system. Oil pan must be removed to service
oil pickup, pressure relief valve, and oil pump.
