Question for all us 2.0 geeks out there-

Took the valve cover off the newly broke in engine this morning to make sure she was oiling ok...  Removed the distributer and put in my modified parts distributer where I can hook a drill to it and spin up the oil pump with the engine off. The spray bar has no issues- all cam lobes are getting bathed correctly- Good news!

Question, the rear cam bearing (firewall) is squirting oil from the back of the head straight up and to an angle to the right- steady stream which would hit the rocker cover if it was on.

I know there is a oil hole in the middle of this bearing journal- and during normal engine run the cam would be spinning so I'm not seeing this as an issue however I have never see this before. I usually see oil coming from that bearing but not a jet that could hit the valve cover.

I'm thinking that this is normal but wanted to throw it out there and see what you guys thought.

Thanks... I spun up the oil pump again tonight to check what you suggested and guess what? It acted correctly... Here is where I thought about why... I ran the test last time with the engine hot. I removed the valve cover and distributed right after   I had her up to temp and was adjusting my electric fan- the oil was hot!

So yea, I can see why it was flowing very freely...

All good!
