The gear-type oil pump is driven through an extension driveshaft. The extension driveshaft is driven by the distributor which is gear driven by the camshaft. The oil is drawn from the oil pan through a pickup screen and tube. Pressurized oil is delivered through internal passages in order to lubricate the camshaft and the crankshaft bearings and to provide lash control in the hydraulic valve lifters. Oil is metered from the valve lifters through the valve pushrods in order to lubricate the valve rocker arms and valve rocker arm ball pivots. Oil returning to the oil pan from the cylinder heads and the camshaft front bearing, lubricates the camshaft timing chain and the crankshaft and the camshaft sprockets.
