Do not think it matters. Show me all the engines that were put together in the late 80s, installed in the early 90s and driven, raced in 2 classes, 14 races a year just about every year since 2000 and still is running great with 50+ lbs at a hot(fast) idle ?
Might be overthinking it. Not that is a bad thing, just does not matter in the end.

That's what I have already done too. I figured any oil getting to the shaft would exit at the top and bottom through the small amount of clearance the gear has on the shaft.
