It will get pretty thin as the bearings warm up, and the rods are moving pretty fast so the dippers on the rods kind of generate their own pressure. I think that would drive oil into the rods even if there wasn't a spray and relied only on oil in the troughs. Full disclosure, I have not used it on a 216 with splash/spray rod oiling.
I'm sure Jerry (Hotrod Lincoln) will be along with an opinion, having built a large number of engines.
