I've seen this problem a number of times. Been able to set it right without taking off the head. Wire brushed the cam journals (even with aluminum embedded in the journal the cams were fine after cleaning), hand sanded the cylinder head journals and caps, remove the oil galley plugs at each end of the head, used spray solvent and piece of wire down each journal oil passage, remove head bolt with oil passage-as another poster mentioned, used compressed air to blow it all out. Remember to put the threaded plugs back in the galley ends. Lube everything thoroughly on assembly.
