Interesting. Did you ever try a pressure gauge on there or are you just checking for adequate flow?

Just a mention about what G-Man said, I made up a oil flow check point using a brake line banjo fitting with the end tapped for a bolt. Its mounted on the front R/H stud
( highest/furthest point).I milled a bit from the top cover and used the narrowest banjo I could find, also put a groove in the "fin" so it does not try to turn when torqueing the head.
It seemed a good idea on the parade / race bikes as sometimes it is unused for a long time. We turn it over using a starting engine with the plugs out ( you could just use the starter on a road machine ).
The main thing is you don't need to take the tension of the main head / cyl. studs, not exactly restoration stuff but you hardly notice it.
Hope this all makes sense.
