Very confusing results . Bank one plugs looked black color where as bank 2 the insulators are cleaner .
So your vacuum test is good.
10 psi difference as the greatest spread is ok.
So I think you valve train is good.
Blows my valve leaking theory all to hell thou.

Are all three plugs from bank 1 blackish???
Blackish plugs are either oil fouled or very rich fuel/air mixture.
Or not firing every time.
So you have to figure out if they look oil fouled or not burning well because of a to rich mixture.

What kind of fuel mileage do you get.????

I would get a spark tester the kind you put between the coil pack and the spark plug so you can test current to the plugs on bank 1

there is a chance your coil packs are not getting energized.
If so that would be a wiring issue.
If that checks out ok then I would look at the injectors.
