The oil pump supplies oil to the reservoirs in the valve chamber. Gravity feeds the oil into the main bearings, the connecting rod troughs and the camshaft bearings. There is one exception. The center camshaft bearing gets oil directly from the pump.

The oil pressure that is essential is developed inside of the bearings, and it reaches thousands of PSI.
