Be careful on data from this location.  The oil flow, from what I
understand, gets there by passing through the rear cam bearing and
scroll groove on the cam to attenuate the flow and pressure to the top
end, otherwise "too much" oil will go up there.  

A reading from this point may not be meaningful if seeking oil pump
performance and system oil pressure, however, it could accutally be more
meaningful if you are just seeking info on top end lubrication activity.

Just a thought fwiw.
