<p>The present invention includes a distribution manifold (12) for evenly distributing engine oil to the cylinders of an internal combustion engine, as well as, directing oil and purging any air accompanying the oil through the fuel system of an internal combustion engine. The manifold (12) includes a plurality of cylinder oiling outlet housings (14), each having a number of cylinder oiling valves (48) corresponding to the number of cylinders in an internal combustion engine. The distribution manifold (12) has a centrally-located dome (38) in fluid communication with the cylinder oiling outlet housings (14). Extending from the apex (52) of the dome (38) is a fuel system outlet housing (16) also having an oiling valve (48) to regulate the flow of oil to the fuel system. A notch (58) extends along the upper interior surface (60) of the centrally-located dome (38) in fluid communication with the fuel system outlet housing (16). The notch (58) is positioned so that air that rises to the top of the centrally-located dome (38) can be purged through the fuel system oiling outlet valve (48) to a fuel separator in the fuel system of the internal combustion engine.</p> |
