Lubrication arrangement for timing chain and cylinder head

A combustion engine, comprising:

• a crankcase defining a journal area and an oil sump;
• a cylinder communicating with the crankcase;
• a cam chain chamber discrete from the crankcase;
• a crankshaft journalled in the journal area of the crankcase, with a first end extending into the cam chain chamber and a second end extending through the crankcase;
• a piston positioned in the cylinder;
• a head above the cylinder having at least one camshaft therein operating valves in the head;
• a first gear positioned on the crankshaft first end and positioned in the cam chain chamber;
• a second gear positioned on an end of the cam;
• a chain entrained around the first and second gear;
• and
