Its partially that. The head in question does only have 1 drain hole and a large open trough for want of another word in the middle which holds the oil. The later GTi6/VTS heads had a second drain hole. The other main factor is it having piston located con rods whereas again the later later heads had crank located rods meaning the pressure is held longer instead of having effectively big drains either side of the big ends. Getting off topic now!
There are a lot of silly rules in sprints and presumably racing as well. Things like minor difference in blocks shouldn't really be an issue, ie an Escort running a 205 one and minor differences to suspension and all that either. Its things like entirely different engines like vauxhall escorts or cars running illegal capacities ie over 2 litre but staying in the 2 litre class that need to be slapped.
