If there is NO oil getting to that side after running it, and other side gets plenty of oil, I believe the 4th cam bearing was installed incorrectly. I would probably resort to some trickery that would involve a long 1/8" drill bit and strategic lineup of cam before a little drilling is done. This is provided that the path to cam is a straight shot after removal of rocker shaft, which I think it is. The trick is to line cam up first, then drill hole in bearing, then immediately prime oil system and catch the filings coming out the top, with rags etc, before re-install of shaft. That's just my thoughts on correcting somebody's mistake. It could have a ball of casting crud stuck in there too. SCRATCH that. Just checked a 906 head, not straight shot, angle at top of head rocker pedestal, straight long bit won't do it.

I'd start over and take off the pass rocker assy, set a clean rag over the pedestals and take out the inter shaft and drill prime it (CCW) while a helper SLOWLY turns the crank CW w a 1&1/4" socket and a breaker bar as you man the drill and watch for the rag to get (hopefully) soaked. You need the rag or you will have oil in your face and on the car which will spoil your joy at discovering that it is indeed (hopefully) oiling. IF NOT take off the pass head and drill horizontally into the rear of the head then countersink a slight bit down in the threads in the rear pedestal so you can drill down at an angle to meet the horizontle passage. Tap into the NPT plug in the oil passage in the top rear of the block next to the oil sender to feed oil into the rear of the head. That way you dont have to disturb the shortblock and when you take the head off you can check the head gasket for no obstruction and run a rod in there to check for a restriction if it is a straight shot. good luck & holler back w the outcome
