Get things squeaky clean, use red Loctite, and peen the plug in thoroughly. You probably don't want to tear the engine all the way down but threading the gallery plugs is the best solution.

Not saying this is the cause, but did one for a friend, when I took out galley plug in front I found it plugged solid Evidently when they hot tank the block, they neglected to clean out that side.

Change cam bearings?

Bearing covering hole that goes to passenger side?

Or agree with Gach on galley plug came out.

After what you have listed as being checked there’s only 3 possibilities.
1) oil galley plug in the face of the block.

2) bad pump.

3) oil filter internally collapsed and blocking flow.
