Thanks to both of you.

My concern on the threaded oil feed hole is that it does not appear to go anywhere. Literally, the channel in the cylinder head just leads over to the stud hole. I dont see any other channels or holes for it to pass through, unless it works its way up and around the lower portion of that particular stud and then exits the cylinder head in a different location. Obviously, the oil would not pass by the nut and washer at the top of the stud once the cylinder head is torqued in place. I do see a mystery hole in the cylinder head, perhaps that is where it exits.
I thought oil reached the top end via the pushrods. Is this an extra oiling hole?

Please excuse my lack of knowledge. I stopped last night and decided to ask questions before proceeding due to this. I really appreciate you all being willing to educate me on the matters at hand.
