Oiling MOD on timing chain

I sent Ted these questions but haven't heard back. They are in reference to this MOD.

How does oil get out from behind the cam plate? Will this still work without the drip rail?

I don't know anything about these engines but found these photos, there is a groove on the back of the plate for oil to drip down on gear.

I didn't find any place that said to groove the plate nor how deep to make it. Where'd you find these pictures?

The photos are from page 5 of this link to a forum post, which I'm sure all pages are of interest.

Just a mention -

The modification shown above is usually only done when the rocker arm assemblies are pressurized and the drip tube(s) meant to supply oil to the timing chain and DIST drive have been modified/removed.
