Nice work to get going again.

The oil is not that much (in quantity terms) demanded around the camshaft. Most importantly is always to be there, present and reliable to keep it from damaging itself.

It's why they will run for a few miles after rebuilding originally that the assembly oil is sufficient until it goes dry that shows this. So as long as the supply is constant it won't show much in the way of total amount flying around in there.

They control the feed volume with those two restrictions and the leak down back to sump by the little pools created by casting to dip the cam lobes into, along with the drain holes going back down through the head.

Just keep checking the oil is there for each run initially to give you confidence that it's always there and that should be ok at that.
Yeah it's a nice feeling to have her running again. Largely thanks to Roy for parts and Laverdaroo for the space and letting me doss in his workshop to get her fixed up! Ace guys

Nice one for that info, I understand it better now. So long as the little cam tower pools are filled and it's all nice and oily we should be good eh. I'm obviously a bit para now so will be whipping those caps off regularly too
