I put those 861s I bought from you in the 572 project and it was pretty educational for me to prime the oiling system and watch the flow,
compared the 829s I am used to working with which just leak oil from the side clearance but otherwise block flow.....I can see the appeal of the 861.

Of particular interest were comments from a pro stating I was going to flood the top end or leak huge amounts of oil out the bottom
while on the base circle, a whole other topic there, but it doesn't seem either scenario is going to happen just by looking at the oil flow.
Most of the oil goes to the pin/axle, right where we want it.
