That's funny. And I disagree somewhat on the splash lube from the crank. It certainly splashes some. Think how much the rods bleed from the sides of the rods and the mains, too. The cam certainly gets "some" splash there. Evidently ENOUGH. lol
The guy talking about the cam lobe and piston wear is defining splash as the oil that the crank kicks up from the pan.
The oil that flows out of the main-rod-cam bearings and rocker arm shaft is indeed the oil that gets kicked around inside the crank case and lubricates the cam lobes and cylinder walls.
