ENGINE HAVING CAMSHAFT LUBRICATION RAIL

摘要

An engine assembly may include a cylinder head defining a first bearing surface supporting a camshaft, a bearing cap fixed to the cylinder head and a lubrication rail. The first bearing surface may have a first oil inlet extending therethrough. The camshaft may define an axial bore, a first radial passage and a second radial passage. The first radial passage may extend from the axial bore through an outer circumference of the camshaft and may be in communication with the first oil inlet. The second radial passage may extend from the axial bore through an outer circumference of the camshaft. The bearing cap may be fixed to the cylinder head and include a first oil outlet in communication with the second radial passage. The lubrication rail may include a second oil inlet in communication with the first oil outlet and a first lubrication supply passage aligned with a camshaft lobe.
