I can crank the engine, no fuel pump rely present, (unpugged)
and get 50psi on the sender hole, (gauged)
and see cam bearings flow oil and land on all valves stems, if not the cam will seize. and valves next if you actually start the engine.
the head bottom has 0.050" inch inch head flow restriction device. (it can be removed, and cleaned with allen wrench.)

the purpose of this device, I think is cam snaps, the flow is now so great for rod and mains, not to seize next,(a fail safe this is)
I’m having trouble seeing if any oil is coming to the top. There’s already oil up here from me pouring some in. I think it might be oiling the lobes, but it’s just so hard to tell. There’s no noticeable oil flow.

I am considering taking off one of the middle of the 6 camshaft holders. And watching the hole for fluid coming out.
part of any head works is oil gallery cleaning, for sure. (during new valves or valve grinds or guides new)
