I just took the valve cover off and turned the engine over to see what I could see. figured the worst it would do is make a mess.
Didn't see any oil on the cams or anything. Looks like the only oil that is getting to the head is whatever is flying off of the timing chain as spins by.

any ideas?

I'm gonna get a new oil filter to rule out the possibility of it being a clogged/bad filter. the previous owner of this engine was a cheap ass, so the filter is probably 3 oil changes old.
