Without a light spray into this area, I would think the camshaft plunger would run a bit dry. I usually plug the passage you are referring to and then drill it with a 1/32" bit. I use a high capacity Stipe oil pump in these applications.
I defer though to your experience as I have not tried it your way.
Good Day!
