ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a lubrication system for an internal combustion engine. lubricating oil flows through a central bore of a camshaft, and the camshaft sprays oil into a journal bearing. The crankshaft and camshaft are configured so that they are in phase, whenever the camshaft is closest to the camshaft during a rotation, the camshaft sprays oil into the journal bearing. Since the crankshaft has twice the rotational velocity of the camshaft, two spray holes are provided in the camshaft so that a spray hole supplies oil on each cycle of the crankshaft rotation.
