FWIW, that's the same reason I tried the external feed.
Still didn't want to pull the engine even after the oil-induced knock broke
a piston, so I took a long drill bit, coated it with grease and drilled down
through the cam insert ! Crazy idea, definitely NOT recommended ... but it
worked for me ! That short block is still in the car, and was running great
when it was wrecked.
