Message -We pulled and 12V tested the solenoid. Worked perfectly
-We changed the BDE cam gear with a new one. Old gear was almost dry with some light rust on the cam face.
-We pulled the cam journal front cap and cleaned out excess RTV
-We pressure tested the bare cam with air through the front and ensured the check valve was functioning.
-We double and triple checked the harness power connecter. Worked fine and you could hear the solenoid engage.

All evidence now points to an oil passage blockage.

By this time it was 1:30AM and we had a full dyno day to run in 7.5 hours. Decided to call it a night and dyno with the other VTC plug pulled. Did alright, all things considered.
