A method of modifying the oil cooling system of a diesel engine includes the steps of removing the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger and installing a manifold having a configuration adapted to match the mounting configuration of the oil passages of the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The manifold has an oil outlet port directed to a remotely mounted oil cooler. The manifold also has a water passage having a configuration that is adapted to match the mounting configuration of the water passages of the original equipment liquid-to-liquid heat exchanger. The water passage causes the entirety of the flow of water to be discharged back to the water cooling system of the engine where it is circulated by the water pump through the water cooling passages in the engine.

A lubricating oil filter assembly is provided for an internal combustion engine that includes, but is not limited to a body provided with: an oil inlet, an oil outlet, a conduit connecting the oil inlet to the oil outlet, and a chamber suitable for accommodating a filter element, the chamber being in communication with the oil inlet and with the oil outlet. The lubricating oil filter assembly further includes, but is not limited to a valve assembly arranged within the conduit to enable a flow of lubricating oil in dependence of the pressure of the lubricating oil at the oil inlet.

A fluid delivery system is provided including a reservoir including oil, a hydraulic pump in fluid communication with the reservoir, and a heat exchanger system. The heat exchanger system is in fluid communication with the hydraulic pump, a generator, and an engine gearbox. The hydraulic pump is configured to deliver the oil to the heat exchanger system. The heat exchanger system is configured to provide the oil according to first temperature criteria to the generator and provide the oil according to second temperature criteria to the engine gearbox.

A lubricant manifold includes a lubricant filter head, a pump inlet channel, an inlet transfer channel, and a lubricant cooler. The lubricant filter head is configured to be coupled to a lubricant filter. The pump inlet channel is fluidly coupled to the lubricant filter head and integrally formed with the lubricant filter head. The pump inlet channel is configured to receive a lubricant and provide the lubricant to the lubricant filter head. The inlet transfer channel is fluidly coupled to the lubricant filter head and integrally formed with the lubricant filter head and the pump inlet channel. The inlet transfer channel is configured to receive the lubricant from the pump inlet channel. The lubricant cooler is fluidly coupled to the inlet transfer channel and integrally formed with the lubricant filter head, the pump inlet channel, and the inlet transfer channel.

An engine assembly includes a small air-cooled engine and a dry sump lubrication system including an external oil reservoir, wherein the dry sump lubrication system has an overall oil capacity that provides at least five hundred hours of engine oil life.

An engine oil system includes a filter assembly. The filter assembly includes a filter manifold and at least one bypass valve. The filter manifold includes a manifold body. The manifold body forms an inlet passage and an outlet passage. The manifold body includes a wall portion. The wall portion forms the inlet passage and the outlet passage. The wall portion forms a bypass channel extending between and to the inlet passage and the outlet passage. The at least one bypass valve includes a housing and a valve member. The housing is disposed on the manifold body. The housing extends circumferentially about a valve axis. The valve member includes a valve body forming a valve plug end. The valve member is positionable along the valve axis in a closed position and an open position. In the closed position the valve plug end is seated on the wall portion obstructing the bypass channel. In the open position the valve plug end is separated from the wall portion.
