Hemi Valvetrain Oil Flow Path

[2004RCLBHemi]

I've always worked on Chevy engines and now that I've built (2) 2004 Ram 5.7 Hemi engines, I find the valvetrain oil flow path interesting and a bit complicated.
I couldn't find this information anywhere else online, so figured I'd add it here for reference for anyone interested.

One of the best posts ever. Thank you so much for posting this. I was looking for some explanation on clearing up oil pathways in my 5.7Hemi and this absolutely answered all the questions.
