Oil System Modifications

I had the hole in the cam cover bushing for the pinion shaft closed off and had the pinion shaft drilled out. This stopped the oil from dumping into the cases and going back to the tank. Now the oil circulates to the lower end rods and flywheels then dumps into the cases. Might as well get some more use from the oil.
When I open the oil tank ( I'm running a square tank in a swing arm) real good flow even at idle. I pay no attention to the idiot light. Like I stated before the system is a circulation system.
