Oil Metering Lines

Should the oil metering lines be full of oil or will there be gaps between the oil droplets?

gaps because ur engine doesnt need to constantly burn oil to keep lubricated. there is a test you can due which i believe is in the haynes manual or if you do a search you can probably find the correct numbers.. i think it was 6cc every 6 min or something like that. as long as u see a flow and good oil pressure, you are good. good luck and welcome to the club
