run it up under the valve cover & direct it at the rocker arms to lube them with the mist ?

It will probably have less oil in it than the access door breather does.  That breather is right in line with the rod, so gets a lot of slung oil that way.  One of my videos with a plexiglass window in place of the hatch, was completely obscured in less than a minute from slung oil.  I recall a telling by someone who modified that splash shield in front of the breather hole and narrowed the slot.  That increased the velocity of the airflow thru the slot and it carried a lot more oil out past the reed valve...  With the port up high in the corner of the case, there is probably not going to be as much free oil laying about the port to get sucked up and atomized into the tube...  A clear hose off the top will tell the tail.
