Check the rocker stands that supply oil to shafts. Maybe there are restrictors in the stand?

Great idea Fran! I will swap sides with rocker gear and see if it moves to the driver side.
Can't remember if the four stands a head are drilled to supply? Think so. If your pulling the rocker assembly you only need to remove 2 stands to check the supply holes in the stand. Do the side with the problem first. Might want to crank the oil pump slowly with a priming tool. Just be careful with squirting oil.
Only two stands per head are drilled to supply oil I did make certain they were installed in the correct position. I will disassemble these suckers once again and see if I can find a smoking gun
on the issue. The problem is I don’t know much about the in and outs of the oiling on the heads of a hemi. I do know this sucker has fought me the whole dang way through this build!

I forgot you have aluminum stands. Remembered half hour after shutting down.

@Fran Blacker thanks for the recommendation on the prussian blue it worked great to check the manifold fit!
Any pictures ?
no I didn’t take pics wishing now I would have. It did transfer nicely around all ports
Thanks again
