priming the oil pump

Yep, I think mine ended up being 28* difference on both ds and ps from Troy's 340 build.
I checked cam bearings and they were all good. When I was checking the oil flow, I got 40* of flow on each bank. Sounds like a lot(maybe it is), but with how quick these buggers spin, a squirt here, a squirt there lol.
Not sure if cam make/age plays a roll?

Yup. The only reasons I could think of would be variations in where the oiling holes in the camshaft bore are drilled and how the camshaft bearings are clocked. Stack both of those tolerances together and they could be way different from block to block.
