Hi Adam and others,
The timing chain gear on the crank is drilled with two radial holes, which
are fed with oil from the drilling in the crank. You can see this in the
cutaway drawing on page 17 in TM-10-1413 and I've just dug through a
mountain of rusty jeep parts to confirm it. It seems to me that the oil
drain from the filter to the timing chain case is where it is because it's a
convenient place to dump the filtered oil back into the engine.
Was the Go Devil engine oil filtered in it's pre-war civilian applications
