Talked with Comp Cams today to verify the correct hight the oil band on the lifter should rise above the oil galley through a complete cam cycle. They said that at no point thru the cycle of the cam should the oil band completely close off. My lifters are closing off the oil galley for 60 degrees of cam rotation, photo #1 shows just how much my oil galley is being closed off at the highest point of lift. Photo #2 shows the distance from the bottom of the lifter wheel to the lower part of the oil band.

Even though the oil band completely closes off that still does not explain why the last 2 exhaust valve rockers are not oiling, something else is still not right that we haven't figured out yet. All 3 oil holes in cam bearing #5 are open and the oil groove in cam journal #5 is aligned with the holes. Tomorrow I will check to see if the weep hole in the side of the lifter body feeding the push rod rises above the top of the lifter boss, if that is happening that could be some of the problem.
