Will check that next Tom.
Put a fine wire into each oil passage under base gasket.
Right side went in a good two to three inches.
Left side went in one inch and stopped.
Is that normal, or should the left go further?

Cam and rockers destroyed. Metal flakes inside head.

End gaskets were correctly installed, with holes for oil passage aligned.

No obvious cause of oil blockage.

What next?

(Other than finding new cam and rockers)

Have not had time to get out and work on it.

Hope to get out there soon.

Thanks a ton everyone that has replied!

Thanks! Good test. Will try squirting some oil.

Update, localized the sound to the left side points cam. Took off both valve caps and both valves feel completely dry to the touch. You stick your finger in each hole and swish around and come out totally dry. That doesn't seem normal.

I think you mean #6 on page 2 here.

I can't say I even know what this part is, or what it does, but will take a look.

Wow, I didn't even consider starter remnants causing this. Thanks!
