Behaving badly

Question:
If I remove the sump and pump oil into the cam covers will it flush everything out to the sump to be caught in a bucket? (Trying to avoid removing cam covers in the driveway)

Answer: No, any loose debris in the valvetrain area will eventually fall to the bottom of the head, which is shaped like a ramp to direct oil to the mini sump at the bottom of the "ramp". From here the scavenge pump sucks the oil etc thru a small passage into the main oil sump area where it goes thru the "swirl-pot" to the bottom of the sump. Any solid particles going into these passages will impede oil flow.
