The shaft should also have the larger bottom of shaft hole at the back end where that longer bolt is. Hope they didn't clock the cam bearings wrong

Peanut head?
I seem to remember they don't oil as much on the shaft.
If it's a peanut, take the rocker shaft off and check that there is some oil in the shaft.

The rocker shaft is in right I think it was in backwards but I flipped it so the notch is facing forwards and up
There are lube holes in the rocker shaft approx 1/8" diameter. One for every rocker. The 225 in my Valiant had been parked for 32 years and every hole was plugged from dried sludge. I actually removed the plugs in the ends of the shaft and thoroughly cleaned everything out.
