2. Wet sump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_sump

   A wet sump design can be problematic in a racing car, as the large g force pulled by drivers going around corners causes the oil in the pan to slosh, gravitating away from the oil pick-up, briefly starving the system of oil and damaging the engine. However, on a motorcycle this difficulty does not arise, as a bike leans into corners and the oil ...

3. Dry sump - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dry_sump

   The oil collects in sump (1), is withdrawn continuously by scavenge pump (2) and travels to the oil tank (3), where gases entrained in the oil separate and the oil cools. Gases (6) are returned to the engine sump. Pressure pump (4) forces the de-gassed and cooled oil (5) back to the engine's lubrication points (7).

   The Welch plug is a type of core plug that is made from a thin disc of metal. The Welch plug is dome-shaped and inserted into the casting hole with the convex side facing outwards. [6] When installed by striking the Welch plug with a hammer, the dome collapses slightly, expanding it laterally to seal the hole.

6. Internal combustion engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_combustion_engine

   When there is a different oil reservoir the crankcase still catches it, but it is continuously drained by a dedicated pump; this is called a dry sump system. On its bottom, the sump contains an oil intake covered by a mesh filter which is connected to an oil pump then to an oil filter outside the crankcase. From there it is diverted to the ...

7. Crankcase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crankcase

   Four-stroke engines typically have an oil sump at the bottom of the crankcase and the majority of the engine's oil is held within the crankcase. The fuel/air mixture does not pass through the crankcase, though a small amount of exhaust gasses often enter as "blow-by" from the combustion chamber , particularly in engines with worn rings.
