Default Piston oiler?

One of my oilers flows no matter the pressure, check valve bad. So it would be oiling at idle, would this be a problem? I took them out to make sure they weren't pluged after cam bearing failure. Putting new take off jugs & pistons in & want this motor to last a long time after done. I hear some have high oil pressure at idle so theirs would be oiling all the time I would think.

After installing old oilers found some S&S oilers from a almost local Indy. Great guy Phil @ TMM in Port Huron. Went to get some new take off pistons from him & he honed my new take cylinders ( I got eBay off that the pistons didn't match). He brought about needed S&S oilers, that the Harley ones are junk. I said ya I have one that flows all the time, do u have them. Awesome now better is right. Also picked up some Brad Penn oil & spectro primary. Nice shop II will be going back even though it's 60 miles away.

Wish my heads looked as good as the jugs but at least the vavles are sealed up tight after 5 hours of lapping

Hmmm, I never knew the oilers had a check valve. You sure?

Yes there made not to flow @ low oil pressure, like 9psi. When flowing at low psi it takes away from everything else that needs it most & it floods the crank case.

Just got back from ride this bike likes to rev now. Sounds good & rocker lockers quited the top almost to nothing. I'm liking it!
