Well... unfortunately my head is about 60 miles away and is being reassembled by the Blockheads who previously "remanufacturered" it so I can't answer your question by taking a look. If you would have asked the question prior to yesterday I could have given you an answer as I took the block back to them as well as the new lifters and a new aluminum timing gear to replace the original that they banged on with a hammer. I came to within a hairs breath of collecting all of the parts and reassembling the engine myself but those dudes owe me big time. I just hope the "head guy" keeps his nose in the job this time.

As far as your oil galley being plugged it would seem simple enough to verify if that was the case or not by blowing air through each port.
