Misfires and flashing CEL

most likely drained down.

to be honest you should just replace all the springs & lifters. But...doing this on a budget like you are just means if there is an issue you will have to tear into it again. At a minimum I would stock up on cam plugs so you have them if you do need to take the head off again. If it were me I would of just had all the springs & lifters replaced and a shop go through the head to make sure the valves are good.

I did all the springs, might do all the lifters too. i put them in an oil bath and they’re not pumping up at all, just more and more air bubbles. By they i mean both of the exhaust lifters on cyl one.
I’m wondering if the cyl one lifters contributed to it, there’s always been a noise from this bank.
i keep a bunch of cam plugs around, the always come in handy!
