Yes they have holes but what will happen is the oil would spray up on the valve cover and drip down on TOP of the shaft and the rocker, there is a reason the oil hole is UNDER the rocker , that's where the oil needs to be , not dripping on top of the shaft .
It's your decision, your motor and your money.

If your willing to pull the cam, why don't you just replace the incorrectly installed cam bearing? (And not remove the head too) Quote:
I could pull the cam and the 1 head and drill out the bearing for that side and that is what I'm thinking about doing. That way I won't have to pull the motor which is what I don't want to do. Ronnie

Have you ever tried to replace a bearing from the top? It's going to be pretty hard to do it that way, doable but there is the risk of dropping the old bearing and/or the new one .

Think I've seen different patterns drilled on some mfgs.
This applies to all B/RB motors , obviously will deviate a few degrees depending on lobe sep , all the same it gets you pretty close , can sometimes be a pain trying to turn the motor over with a drill in the other hand.

Okie, I'd drop in and give you a hand on this but this weekend is kinda busy. I'm sure we'd be able to get oil to the other side without excessive hassle.
