 +The cams get oiled by drainage from the rocker boxes and splash oil in the bottom end. \\
 +Oil flows off the pushrod side of the rocker boxes through the pushrod covers, into vertical holes in the lifter bores and into the gearcase. \\
 +Oil falls on the cam lobes on the way down this hole. Some of this oil is transferred between the gear teeth. \\
 +The rear intake (#2) cam gets a little oil spray from the right case oil feed galley through the small orifice underneath the open cavity in the case. \\
 +That oil is transferred between the teeth of the cams. \\
 +Oil flung off the cams lands in the gearcase to be collected into the scavenge (return) side of the oil pump. \\
