I just now re-read your first paragraph. Although the dippers are still on caps, the insert bearings are NOT drilled to let oil in or out from the dipper ! So, the splash dipper will throw oil around (towards cam) as it normally would, but usually, in my experience, the dipper is treated as extra weight to be taken off the cap. Sorry for the confusion of not explaining this first time. Think I'll leave them on , for next guy to deal with if he wants, as for me to take them off now...will entail rebalancing act.
