MAN 9L58/64 Engine.

The oil distributed in the engine by pumping the oil from a sump tank since the engine is dry sump. The oil is pumped to the main bearings and through the crankshaft which is hollow to the big end bearing and goes to through the con rod and then lubricate gudgeon pin and piston crown.

The other oil goes to the cam shaft bearings and then another branch goes to the rocker arm area and lubricates the exhaust and air inlet valves rota caps and then flows down through the push rods to the cam shaft area.

The cylinder liner is lubricated by cylinder lubricator pump which delivers oil in the cylinder liner.

Air intake valve seat is lubricated by valve seat lubricator pump which delivers lube oil to all inlet valve seat.

The idle gears, cam shaft gears and the generator end bearing are also lubricated by lube oil pumped by Lube oil main pump.

The turbo charger has a header tank to ensure that oil lubricates the turbo charger bearings and also there is a direct line from lube oil main pump.
