LightSpeed,
The reed valve (and the breather system in general) has nothing to do with wet sumping, so best to leave it alone. The reed valve is simply a one way valve that allows excess crankcase pressure to vent into the cam chest area and preclude most of it from returning.
Wet sumping has been covered enough on this forum that I'm not going into repetitive detail here. What I will say is that some of these engines exhibit a significant amount of wet sumping over short time periods while most seem to have no practical problems. This is most likely down to manufacturing issues with the oil pumps.
