2 other possibilities

1/ outside air temp in the morning causes oil to drainback at different rates. Flooding of the heads may occur on cold mornings with more oil being drawn down the valve guides due to slower oil drainback and the oil level in the heads rising

2/ depends what part of the rotation your engine stopped at. A particular guide(or seal) may be the culprit and allow oil to drain into the chamber ONLY when the valve is open, which is dependant on where it stopped when you shut the engine down

2 more cents worth....chuckle
This thread, so far...
