7. Splash lubrication - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splash_lubrication

   Splash lubrication is an antique system whereby scoops on the big-ends of the connecting rods dip into the oil sump and splash the lubricant upwards towards the cylinders, creating an oil mist which settles into droplets. The oil droplets then pass through drillings to the bearings and thereby lubricate the moving parts. [3]
