Ford introduces unique lubrication system for Model A engine
Detroit May reports Ford unveils a novel lubrication setup for the Model A four cylinder motor. The pump sits in the crankcase bottom connected to the camshaft gear, filtering oil through a mesh screen and shield, delivering a continuous gravity assisted feed to the valve chamber and crankshaft bearings. Reservoir dams in the valve chamber provide staged lubrication as oil flows through three countered reservoirs before returning to the front end.
