Aha!

So is this the solution??

They emailed me back to use Kit A a that it will fix the problem:

Joe,
Yes our prelube kit will solve the problem because it does exactly the same thing the oil pump does but before start up.
The A kit will be the best kit for your engine.
Thanks,
Frank

Maybe we can try to get a group buy going?

The cam sprockets are hydraulic so it makes sense that the oil can drain out of those as well.
