ABSTRACT:
A cover for a crankcase of an internal combustion engine is disclosed. The cover has an inside surface in which walls are formed extending from the inside surface to form channels. A plate covers the channels to form passages that allow the flow of oil from various inlets to various outlets in the passages, but does not necessarily completely seal the channels. The plate is secured to the inside surface of the cover by threaded members that are inserted through fastening apertures in the plate and are threaded into corresponding internally threaded apertures in the inside surface of the cover.
