Good thinking Jimmy. I got one for you. I had a 56 Ford Crown Vic back in the day that would not return oil to the sump on one bank. Bought a manual windshield washer from Pep Boys, filled the bag with motor oil, ran the hose to the top of the valve cover and put the bulb to pump it on the floor next to the gas petal. When the valves started to clatter just pumped the bulb and sent the oil to the valves. Lasted about 6 months till the motor terminated. Nice catch by the way.

Do you know Jimmy G. from the Blue Angle? He's got a 31 Bert as well. I know you Bert guys are as thick as theives. Almost as bad as Whaler guys.
