Got the green beast up and running today but I'm kinda concerned about how much oil is coming out of the rocker arm assembly oil connector tube's deflector. Do all oil connector tubes have such a deflector with a hole in the tube underneath?

Here's a pic:

Here's a video showing how much oil is spewing out of the deflector. Yes the tube is clear of all debris and I do see some oil dripping out of the rocker arm assembly above piston #6, etc.



With so much oil coming out of the deflector, I could consider pluging up the hole but wonder the impact if all this oil was suddenly diverted to the 12 rockers. Too much?

Yes I do have a banjo (drilled) head bolt in #1 position.
