Default oiling to 3.2 cam tensioner

Ok first post here..2006 3.2 liter,160,000 miles.had issue with cam position,bank3 exhaust.replaced adjustment solenoids,tensioner(stuck in) and exhaust cam adjuster(gear).reset cam timing and drove.now it appears that there is an oiling issue to that side only as will be very quiet and then just starts clackin away.makes no difference weather hot or cold.seems like it bleeds down at times.have oil at solenoid but pulled valve out and oil just oozes out.must have issue with supply but only this side is affected.any ideas?My thoughts are oil pump(should affect both sides) or restriction in oil passage.does oil go around head bolt like thers did?Goin nuts over this!

sludge build up in the ports.

You need to clean the port some how.

Are you using a thin wt oil? synthetic?
