Thanks Phil--no pluggage in the oiler, and I did my best with a pipe cleaner to ensure that the oilway leading to it wasn't obstructed. I do think the dry gears are odd--but I agree that it doesn't seem like they'd be squealing this way either. Grinding and howling, more like.

The machinist who did the work on this engine recommended not installing new bearings, citing the difficulty of align-boring. In retrospect I wish I had changed them...but the new cam does rotate freely.
