Does the oil line go in the cam cover or to the back of the cylinder head?

Its a little odd going to the cam cover, but in doing so would likely mean the oil passage to the lash adjusters and cam is intentionally plugged and the external line is feeding both the lash adjusters and cam "bearings" and lobes.

If it is going to the rear of the head, then it likely has a sealed off tube letting full oil pressure the cam and lobes, but lower psi to only the lash adjusters. Which is how I have mine set up.

I would prefer to have the higher volume and pressure going to the cam and keep the low pressure regulation to only the lash adjusters.
