    The 2008 SEMA Show at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The SEMA acronym originally stood for Speed Equipment Manufacturing Association. [5] In 1970, government regulations became an issue and the name was changed to Specialty Equipment Market Association to improve the overall image of the association.

  3. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

    The oil pump forces the motor oil through the passages in the engine to properly distribute oil to different engine components. In a common oiling system, oil is drawn out of the oil sump (oil pan, in US English) through a wire mesh strainer that removes some of the larger pieces of debris from the oil.

  4. Oil pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pressure

    Murphy oil pressure gauges with switches that activate on low pressure. Oil pressure is an important factor in the longevity of most internal combustion engines. [1] With a forced lubrication system (invented by Frederick Lanchester), oil is picked up by a positive displacement oil pump and forced through oil galleries (passageways) into bearings, such as the main bearings, big end bearings ...

  9. Total-loss oiling system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total-loss_oiling_system

    Later systems collect oil in a sump, from where it can be collected and pumped around the engine again, usually after rudimentary filtering. This system has long been the norm for larger internal combustion engines. A pumped oil system can use higher oil pressures and so makes the use of hydrostatic bearings easier. These gave a greater load ...
