How do SOHC timing chains get oil?
How do the SOHC camshaft timing chains get oil? I’m wanting to prime the engine and make sure oil galleys/passages are flowing properly before reinstalling the engine. Thanks in advance.

Figured out the rear. The lower sprocket of the rear cassette sits in an oil bath (see photo).
