Sorry if that cam out somewhat confusing. I'll rephrase: Route the oil so
that it is fed to the rocker shaft via the front pedestal. In that way,
gravity should help ensuring that all rockers receive a sufficient oil
supply.
It should be possible to do by mounting the shaft the other way around,
and add an extra oil tube from the rear pedestal (now blocked) to the front
one.
