bearing
robust design Foreign particle capture during initial startup,
Improvement of foreign particle discharge
Main bearing Eccentric
groove
Oil pump capacity can be reduced,
because it can reduce oil leakage.
round eccentric
groove
Oil pump capacity can be reduced,
because it can reduce oil leakage.
Partial twin
groove
Rapid warming up of the oil during cold starts
Crank
