Have always wondered if spraying lots of oil inside the valve covers would be worth anything which has lead me to investigate the world of "piston squirters".

Here's an interesting assortment of parts used on BMW's and other German Makes:

And I really have to admire this guy... he made his own system including the nozzles from scratch for his Volvo Turbo:

When BMW redesigned the R100's into the R1000 "Cam-In-Head" flat twin motorcycle engines, they got nicknamed the "oil heads" because that was the major source of cooling for this otherwise "aircooled" engine.

Of course, if you can't get the oil to circulate around the exhaust valve guide on the Type IV, there probably isn't any point to pumping additionally "cooling only" oil to the heads..

Some food for discussion..
