the compressor housing air inlet (10) by rotation of
compressor wheel (4). The action of the compressor
wheel blades causes a compression of the inlet air. This
compression gives the engine more power because it
makes it possible for the engine to burn additional fuel
with greater efficiency.
Maximum rpm of the turbocharger is controlled
by the fuel setting, the high idle rpm setting and the
height above sea level at which the engine is operated.

The bearings (5 and 7) in the turbocharger use
engine oil under pressure for lubrication. The oil comes
in through oil inlet port (6) and goes through passages in
the center section for lubrication of the bearings. Then
the oil goes out oil outlet port (11) and back to the oil pan.
VALVE SYSTEM COMPONENTS
The valve system components control the flow of
inlet air and exhaust gases into and out of the cylinders
during engine operation.
The crankshaft gear drives the camshaft gears
through idlers. Both camshafts must be timed to the
crankshaft to get the correct relation between piston and
valve movement.
