Connecting rod bearings are inserts that fit into the connecting rod's lower end and ride on the journals of the crankshaft. The oil pump is used to force pressurized oil to the various parts of the engine. Gear and rotary pumps are the most common types of pumps. The gear pump consists of a driven spur gear and a driving gear that is attached to a shaft driven by the camshaft. The two gears are the same size and fit snugly in the pump body.
Oil is carried from the inlet to the delivery side of the pump by the opposite teeth of both gears.
Here it is forced into the delivery pipe. It can't flow back, because the space between the meshing gear teeth is too tight. The rotary pump is driven by the camshaft. The inner rotor is shaped like a cross with rounded points that fit into the star shape of the outer rotor. The inner rotor is driven by a shaft turned by the camshaft.
