I think that it may be adequate under normal use but not when the oil is really viscous such as cold temperatures.

Is it good enough to keep the engine properly oiled?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271503916721428121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-74388127087765329432016-08-22T11:21:13.922-08:002016-08-22T11:21:13.922-08:00There is a low pressure oil pump with a nozzle tha...There is a low pressure oil pump with a nozzle that pours oil on the timing gears. This is what lubricates the timing gears, the alternator drive gear, and the front cam bearing. There is a small channel that puts some oil into the upper side of the left cylinder and into the front main bearing. Oil flowing out of the front main bearing gets caught with a slinger mounted to the crank which channels oil into the rod bearing. A similar channel is lubricates the rear main bearing and the other rod bearing. Oil for the rear cam bearing and the lifters is just from oil flying off of the rod bearings. Hope this helps...RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-82309817662505713102016-08-10T14:08:57.300-08:002016-08-10T14:08:57.300-08:00I haven't dealt with the oil system of new Ura...I haven't dealt with the oil system of new Urals, so I hope you can shred some light on this matter for me. What I'm interested in is how oil is brought to the crankshaft. Does the front bearing holder (or however it's called correctly) have some canals connecting it to the oil pump or something like that?<br /><br />For example, in Dnipro engines, there is an oil canal from the oil pump to the front bearing holder and from this place into the crankshaft. Here is the article about Dnipro oil system expaining what I mean <a href="http://www.cossack-motorcycles.com/2016/01/improving-oil-system-dnipro/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cossack-motorcycles.com/2016/01/improving-oil-system-dnipro/</a><br /><br />Actually, I would like to know how oil gets to the connecting rods.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01271503916721428121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-657809241365886162016-03-10T20:39:27.204-09:002016-03-10T20:39:27.204-09:00I'm enjoying the experience though I hope I...I'm enjoying the experience though I hope I'm doing it right. You need to wait until the engine actually runs (reliably) before making such offers. ;-)RichardMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04773834892715980735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1512448163402185409.post-45507396316952575542016-03-10T11:57:29.013-09:002016-03-10T11:57:29.013-09:00Think of all the experience you're gaining.
