Need HELP!


that explains no compression and probably the noise.

here is a pic of the oil drain at the rear of the drivers side head. that's a 3/8" drill sticking thru it.
you can see if it were not flowing oil would soon be flooding the springs & seals.
kindly ignore the custom low pressure valve springs. ( I have many unfinished projects )

The oil drains were definitely open. Minimal oil on top of head.
It seems to me that this could explain a lot of my issues. I'll find out tomorrow for sure but if I have another lifter stuck/failed on bank 2, it explains the pressure and oil blow by, as well as the rich condition. When I pulled the plugs it seemed like oily fuel residue on them.
I wouldn't have noticed you specialty springs had you not pointed them out. 😂 Appreciate, all the help, and I don't mind all the questions.

Bank 2 had good compression, but I wanted to visually verify valve operation. And Honestly, its left me with more questions.
Here's the video: Bank 2 Valve train
The first thing that catches my eye in the video is the synchronization. The valves aren't operating the same way bank to bank. I even went back and watched Bank 1 video again. In it (Bank 1 vid), cyl 1 exhaust and cyl 2 intake operate at the same instance. And 2 and 3 do it as well. Where on Bank 2 they all open and close independently.
I checked all the push rods, and they all have tension. I can't really wiggle them, but they are loose enough that I can spin them. So not in a bind
