I have a feeling you have multiple things going on, the cam correlation issue should still allow it to run okay unless it is mechanically out of time. I was asking because I am assuming you are getting P0019-0021 specifically since those are a common issue and it sounds like what you have going on. Here is a thread on it, most importantly post 6 and 15.

thank you so much for the link to that thread, I appreciate it tons.
So I got my motor built back in march because i spun all 4 main bearings and one rod bearing, and threw it all together in april with fully upgraded parts and extras, came out to about $7000 total for the engine rebuild parts. Everything was great, I was very happy with the car until I wasnt and I started smelling oil, did some looking around and it was timing cover leak over by the coolant res.. I took it over to the shop and since then thats where the cars been since. I didnt let the oil leak much. When i took it there they fixed the timing cover and oil control solenoids, position sensors, and all gaskets and seals. Then we expected the car to work but I guess it hasnt.
I asked my mechanic what codes and he literally said they havent ran the car long enough which just sounds strange i guess. Im gonna head over there sometime and go check it out myself because it never had any of these problems on this exact build before i took it in so we will see.
Ill look over the thread you sent, and Ill post information here when I get it. Thank you
