Is the spray bar the oil feed into the cam, rockers, or, like mine does it come up at both end's as well?

it is the thin tube that runs over the top of the rockers/cam with small pin holes for the oil to spray onto the components it is fed in from centre outwards

Sorry, I meant to say is the spray bar the only oil feed. Mine only drips oil, but I have oil coming up from somewhere at both ends.

The cam is fed with oil at the bearings and the rockers are fed by the rocker shafts.
The spray bar ( should really be called drip bar) on lubes the cam lobes. Cack design in my opinion

so the oil which is coming up at either end is the bearing feeds? I'm trying to work out why I have a lot of oil coming back through the inlet/TB and into the air box. Thought maybe there was too much coming into the rocker box.
