No Oil in the Driverside Head

Cam shaft bearings. Carrier bearings are found either in axle differentials, or as center supports between two long drive shafts.
How do you know you're not getting oil to that bank? What's the history of this engine? Have you had the oil pan off lately?
If you suspect top end lubrication issues, you should drain your oil and drop your oil pan to see what might be lurking in there. The presence of grey sludge indicates cam bearing de-lamination. The presence of kibbles and bits that are non-magnetic represent chunks of one or more failed cam bearings. In either case, you wouldn't need to worry about one isolated cam bearing. They would all need attention. At that point the engine should come out for complete disassembly, inspection and determination of proper corrective action ranging from top end overhaul, to full blown rebuild.

Yes i have the oil pan off and had to replace Both rocker arm assemblies When I put it back together I primed up using a drill No oil to the passenger side rocker arm assembling it had about 35PSI on engine warm At idle with new pressure oil pressure gauge(befor i replast rocker arms) On side note valve covers were dry on the inside so pretty sure that's why the rocker arms were tost . Motor was rebuilt and new heads I'm suspecting that they messed up on the number 4# Crank bearing

Well the Cam bearings are well just say that they're kind of their looks like I'm pulling the motor and tearing it down again. Bet he dry started it

I have learned a $600 lesson( That is if everything else is OK in the terror down). Just got done talking to the guy that assembled the motor. He is never heard of assembly grease and he had no clue what I was talking about priming up the engine oil pump. For any ask yourself how far you can get with your engine without using assembly grease and priming up the pump is about 500 miles. Dont be me. Looks like on buying a book learning about this engine and redoing it.
 
Before you pull the engine....have you visually verified that the #3 rocker shaft support has the oil passage?
The third support from the left on each head is the only support that supplies oil to the heads.
Remove and check that if you have not already done so.
 
Jereman, your last few messages haven't made much sense. Incoherent babble mostly. I'm going to need a translation, or maybe you could try again in complete English sentences this time.
