Not sure why you would flood your primary with oil, the 7 floz n the primary was designed to splash the chain not soaking the chain with oil even running only 5 floz in the primary will be enough to slash on the chain.
Motor oil in the primary is not design to run in clutches and when I brought my Norton new the recommended motor oil at the time was GTX, wasn't long before having slipping clutch or sticking clutch plates so finding a lighter oil to run in the primary was a big task, I only ran GTX oil in my motor for a short time before going to straight 50 grade Pennzol for our hot climate and the ATF-F brand was the best for the primary and clutch as the F brand is designed for the early Fords with clutch plates in their transmission and why it works so well in out Norton primaries, enough to splash the chain and keep it lubed and not enough to upset the clutch plates.
For the first 5 years I always had problems with slipping clutch but after turning to ATF-F I haven't had any problems with sticking or slipping clutch plates and to this day am still running my original clutch plates in my Norton, the clutch centre was only replaced about 13 years ago for the first time as well the pressure plate.
My original clutch plates have well over 150k miles on them and is a one finger operation if I wanted to its a very light clutch ever since new, I don't use a clutch rod seal as I measure how much oil goes into my GB that my book recommends and have never had GB oil find its way into my primary, I also put grease on my clutch rod before installing and I run a sealed clutch bearing.
The good thing about ATF in the primary if you have red oil dripping from your primary cover you know about it straight away where it's coming from and not your motor or GB as your GB oil be clean compared to motor oil.
As well with pre M111 Norton never over tighten the centre primary outer cover, if it leaks and tightening up too tight might mean you need to replace the cover rubber seal.
