Just put the camera into the oil feed hole, couldn't get far as there were cogs that were too small to see through but I did inspect them too as I could see them, everything bottom end is fine, well oiled; no head gasket reminese or any metal. In the sump there was hardly any, there's 0 metal in the oil strainer but there is a lot of crap in the strainer itself; unsure of the next step here. I'm getting pipe cleaners for the oil lines and I'll run those through the oil feed crevises that I can get too; nothing seems bad it all looked good; should I do all I've said then try again? That strainer did seem awful and the crap on it wasn't budging with scrubbing force either

Is the strainer held in only by the fact that the sump presses it upwards? You said that it fell out easily. If it is not sealing at the top then the pump might have been pulling air past that seal which would reduce the amount of oil getting into the pump as well as aerating the oil which might vastly reduce it's viscosity. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

A cause for concern or a hooray? I cleaned out the oil that situates right below the strainer which had some crap in it and I saw something huge; quite worrying until I uncovered it.
Now I'm quite baffled and confused as I have no idea what this is
Well it's not sealent, it's not gasket, it's not metal, it's rubber; it kind of reminds me of electrical tape but it's a huge piece; enough to cover 1/4 of the filter and with the rest of the crap in that filter about 2/4 maybe even more
What do you guys think, as I'm assuming this light material would float and stick to the filter when the bikes running...just confused on how it got there...

Fair to say you've found the root of your problem, a blocked strainer. Shame it took trashed follower and probably a trashed camshaft to find out. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'

They won't give a monkeys and will fob it off since it was dismantled at home. You could try but don't hold your breath. Personally I would rebuild it or find another lump and move on. ____________________ a.k.a 'Geri'
