Am no expert here, but if it's only one bank, and not just a single lifter I would question if oil is circulating efficiently.

daz rebuilt the top end so that will be ok  :y
they was plenty of oil in there when it was stripped

is it possible that one of the stem seals could have moved or been damaged due to the tapping ???
