That is one way and the form factor becomes an issue
If the cam cavity is closed and filled with a proper lube, the piston can bang
all it wants and it won't spew debris into the fuel flow.
The piston hammering will still be a failure issue though
Using the fuel also as the cam cavity lube is penny wise and pound foolishness
Tapping into the engine lube system is good potential and again, the
piston hammering issue will still be there
