    should the oil flow on the cam bearing that is closest to the bell housing
    be a flow through like the front and middle bearings

    great stuff
    so the rear cam bearing has a oil in and no out, OR should the 2nd hole in the cam bearing be an oil out and lead to a hole in the block, or just the block with no oil out..?

    The rear cam bearing and the rear main bearing are lubricated thru passages directly coming from the oil pump. The cam bearing is lubricated by oil that goes (pressurized) into the cam idler gear chamber and thru the bearing. The only thing neccessary is to make sure that one of the holes lines up with the hole which the fuel pump pushrod goes thru.:) :D
