what gives

[
I was asking about the differences between the two. .

So far as function, none.




I definitely had them on correct. down and left.

I don't even know what "down and left" means'

You either had that shaft on wrong, or the oil hole is not getting oil from the cam. Might be the cam bearing has slipped / in wrong, etc.

You have an oiling diagram, and understand how these oil?
