Re: Valve lubrication question on 8BA
It's just a combination of oil mist and oil thrown by the rotating crankshaft and rods. Later engines have drilled squirt holes in the rods to supply a bit more to the cam lobes and piston skirts but there's no direct pressure oiling to the tappets or valve chamber.
