An overhead cam engine having an engine lubrication system for delivering oil includes an engine block and a cylinder head having a deck face adapted for mating with the engine block. The deck face forms an acute angle with a horizontal plane of the engine block. A valve train has transverse camshaft journal bearing assemblies with pressurized oil orifices to lubricate the bearings, a camshaft rotatably supported by the cylinder head through the transverse camshaft journal bearing assemblies, cams disposed on the camshaft, and valves actuated by the cams. The cylinder head has a transverse bridging surface bridging the transverse camshaft journal bearing assemblies. A bore is positioned along the bridging surface with a gasket supported by the bridging surface about the bore. The gasket includes a sealing ring for sealing the bore and a plurality of oil directing fingers, wherein excess oil from the transverse camshaft journal bearing assemblies flows along the bridging surface and about the sealing ring of the gasket to the oil directing fingers positioned to target oil onto targeted components such as valve train components.
