One of my GM manuals explains the origin of that grind. They started that when hydraulic lifters came in because the rocker was in constant contact and they want to oil the area better. I put one like that on my 216 and the oil still goes all over as required. I also thought that if I didn't like it I could drill the oil holes through and install it upside down. I don't think it would have any affect on the top.
