20170152774 · 2017-06-01 ·

A valve system is disclosed herein. The valve system, in one arrangement, may comprise: a fluid pathway for transporting a fluid; a first valve operably coupled to the fluid pathway, the first valve comprising a first resilient element; a second valve operably coupled to the fluid pathway, the second valve comprising a second resilient element that is substantially identical to the first resilient element; wherein, when the first valve is in a closed state, the first resilient element is compressed to a first length so that the first valve opens at a first pressure; and wherein, when the second salve is in a closed state, the second resilient element is compressed to a second length so that the second valve opens at a second pressure, the first length is less than the second length such that the second pressure is less than the first pressure.

Cylinder block

A cylinder block is provided. The cylinder block includes a cylinder, two crankshaft supports at a bottom of the cylinder block, a cylinder head engaging surface at a top of the cylinder block, and first and second exterior sidewalls, the first exterior sidewall extending from the cylinder head engaging surface to a first structural frame engaging surface positioned above a centerline of the two crankshaft supports.

Lubricating system for internal combustion engine, oil pan apparatus, and internal combustion engine
09624797 · 2017-04-18 · ·

A lubrication system for an internal combustion engine. The lubrication system may comprise an oil cooler; an oil cooler supply passage for delivering oil to an inlet of the oil cooler from an oil reservoir; an oil cooler outlet passage for delivering oil from an outlet of the oil cooler to one or more portions of the internal combustion engine to be lubricated; a first pressure relief valve operably coupled to the oil cooler supply passage, the first pressure relief valve configured to open at a first predetermined pressure to allow oil in the oil cooler supply passage to return to the oil reservoir without passing through the oil cooler; and a second pressure relief valve operably coupled to the oil cooler outlet passage, the second pressure relief valve configured to open at a second predetermined pressure to allow oil in the oil cooler outlet passage to return to the oil reservoir after passing through the oil cooler, the second predetermined pressure being less than the first predetermined pressure.

INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE HAVING STRUCTURAL FRAME

A structural frame is provided. The structural frame includes a bottom surface, first and second cylinder block sidewall engaging surfaces, the first and second cylinder block sidewall engaging surfaces positioned above the bottom surface at a height that is above a centerline of a crankshaft support included in a cylinder block when the structural frame is coupled to the cylinder block.
