460 Squeek

I've got a 79 bronco with a 460. I just put a cam, lifters, timing chain, and valve springs. Now I've got a sqeek coming from the vavle covers. I took the drivers side valve cover off and ran the engine and no oil was getting to the head. I it run for a few minutes to make sure. I've got good oil pressure (about 75psi start up cold and 45psi warm. I've got ajustable rockers on it to if that helps. Please help me out if you can.

Is this oil pressure with a mechanical gauge, and from the top back of the block? Is there no oil on the other head?

Since you just installed a new cam.
Make sure your push rods are not clogged up with
assembly lube.
