Oil Metering Question

if one of the oil metering injectors on the rotorhousing is malfunctioning (lets flow through both ways), will the combustion pressure let the apex seal get any oil at all?

I did a search like you said, and this is all i came up with.

i was just thinking that if the injector let oil flow both ways, the compression would prevent the oil from entering the combustion chamber.

Thanks Keith's Dad.
