Abstract
A gear housing assembly includes a gear housing and a gear cover for an internal combustion engine. The gear housing includes gear housing drillings, the gear cover includes gear cover drillings, wherein the gear cover is attached to the gear housing such that one of the gear cover drillings is fluidly connected with one of the gear housing drillings via a gasketed interface to supply oil through a debris screen to two fuel pumps mounted on the gear housing. A serviceable access cover is mounted on the gear cover. An idler gear is assembled onto an idler shaft to form a sub-assembly, wherein the idler gear is positioned between the serviceable access cover and the gear housing. The idler shaft is supported by the bushing in the access cover and two bushings mounted in the gear housing to provide radial and thrust load bearing capabilities.
