You'll have to watch one some day with the valve cover off JC. I'm sure it's an optical illusion and the oil is only going up and down with the push rod but, it's possible it travels up because of the spin/rotation of the pushrod as it works up and down. I remember putting something against the pushrod as it went up and down to test that theory but now i can't remember what the heck the results of that little experiment was. LOL
