Re: inline 6 crank/rod bearing lubrication

The bearings are lubed as the fuel and oil is inducted in the crankcase thru the reed valves

Re: inline 6 crank/rod bearing lubrication

The oil, being thicker and less able to vapourize than gas comes out of suspension and is deposited on the internal parts. Any excess oil that puddles in the crankcase is recirulated by passages and hoses to the crankshaft bearings or blown into the transfer ports
