These are all good points and We did measure the holes in relation to the center left to right and all were within a 16th of center of each cam lobe! The spray angle is reduced as you get closer to the source and crude measurements show a clearance of around 3/4 of an inch from the lobe to the oil hole when the cover is on and even at this distance the oil stream is missing it's mark (center) and not providing the designed lubrication. Definately agree more data is in order !
