Oooooh. Good point. There is absolutely no oil visible in the top end.
I would check to see if the small bolt in the back of the head that is used to
plug the oil gallery is too long. This is the location where the add on oil
pipes connect to the head to supplement the oil flow to the rockers. Stock is
for there to be a short bolt with a copper washer fitted to plug the hole left
from drilling the oil gallery in the head. If the bolt is too long, you will
plug the oil gallery completely for the rockers and the top end runs without
oil.

Yeah - someone made a good point - the top end looks BONE DRY.
What's the reason for that?
was it somehow cleaned up before the picture was taken? (if so, I'd love to
know how)
Someone who knows more about the oiling paths than me might be able to
comment on whether or not it is possible that there are blockages in the
system that still allow for normal oil pressure readings even though little
/ no oil is getting out to where it needs to go.
Sorry to read / see your bad news.
Scott
