Oil Pump & Pick-up Information

Why are Oil Pump & Pick-up Part(s) Important

The Oil Pump and Pick-up is one of many players that make up mankind’s most ingenious creation: the internal combustion engine.

Within the confines of the engine block, bearings and bushings protect the sensitive surfaces within. Some of the most important surfaces are those that clamp the crank shaft and cam shaft into place. The crank shaft transfers the force created by the piston into mechanical power. That force turns the fly wheel and on into the transmission.

The cam shaft is connected to the crank shaft thought a series of gears and a chain or belt. It moves valve lifters which drive connecting rods up into the rocker arms. The rocker arms open and close the valves located in the cylinder heads allowing fuel to enter the engine cylinders and exhaust to exit. Not one part can be spared in this formula, especially not the oil pump and pick-up.

The oil pan is designed to dip down at one point to create a pooling area for the oil inside. The oil pickup is extended into the pool so that it has a constant supply of oil to send to the top end and all over the engine. The pickup is powered by the oil pump which itself runs off of either the crankshaft if it is a mechanical fuel pump, or off of the electrical system if it's an electrical pump.
