Ok everything is fine.
About 3 years ago I changed the oilpipes at an 1973 M30 (oil Filler cab on front side) and an 1987 M30 (oil filler cab at back side)
Actually I slided the old pipe out and the new in. I was 95% sure that it is impossible to mount the pipes the wrong way.
But I checked the 1973 engine first: the arrow was pointing to cylinder one (to the double chain). Everything OK. But there is also an additional V at the rear end of the pipe.
I could see the additional V through the oil filler cab of the 1987 M30. So I didn’t have to open the engine

A sad story….. on some oil bars the big arrow points the wrong direction.
It’s a horrible world sometimes.
Don’t count on the big arrow, and you can always check with a small Pick to make sure that the oil hole is directly between the two cam lobes

Thanks for the tip Don.
After 32 years and 50k miles since the restomod, my oil bar is now installed correctly.
No wear to the camshaft was noted.
