Abstract:
The invention presented is a chain drive sprocket assembly designed to capture lubricating oil from the engine sump or case and distribute the oil throughout the assembly including over the bearings. The invention provides a unique accumulator channel to capture dripping and splashing oil and exit ports with reduced pressure that enable the oil to be drawn through the bearing space and out the assembly, providing for continuous circulation of oil through the assembly.
