Didn't the Model-T use splash oiling only back in the old days? If thats the way they drove those cars all over, you might be ok considering you were only ideling for a couiple of munutes. The oils now and days have extremely strong film strength. At idle, you dont develop too much pressure. What is your oil pressure now thst you corrected the flow? Is it ok?
