ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for providing a continuous supply of oil on camshaft lobes used in an overhead cam internal combustion engine. The mechanism includes camshaft bearing caps affixed to the engine about the camshaft journals. Protruding from the side surface of the central portion of the bearing caps are oil diverter pads. The oil diverter pads cause oil that builds up on the surface of the camshaft journals to be diverted toward the camshaft lobes to provide lubrication between the camshaft lobes and the roller finger followers.
