Seems like you could tap off of an oil line or passage someplace and run a line up to the top of the valve cover with a fitting installed that would drip on the chain. That type of oiling was used on chains and gears in engines and machinery of the early 20th century; the difference being that it was gravity drip from a reservoir.
Probably less work to install the bigger nozzle that comes with the timing chain kit (although I don't know where it goes). If I could buy one for $800 less than I thought it was worth, I'd buy it and either install the chain kit myself or have it installed by somebody else if it turns out to be as bad as working on a Quad4 timing chain.
If I'd owned the car since new, I'd want GM to pay for it, and probably just grumble loudly like Gary if they refused.
