I have a Janome Memory Craft 4800. After cleaning out all of the packed in lint from the feed dogs, bobbin holder, hook race, and changing my needle, the bobbin thread still gets bunched up. Can this be fixed from home?

Probably not.
I do some sewing machine repair (I'm self-taught) for my sewing students and from your description it sounds as though a part inside the machine has either broken/worn, or become mis-aligned.
Only someone with training (preferably factory or a course), experience, and the proper tools will be able to open the machine, find and resolve the problem, and then put the machine back together in a way that means the machine will operate properly.
I have just cleaned my machine but cannot replace the bobbin head correctly. Manual says insert the bobbin hold so that the knob fits next to the stopper in the hook race.
Where can I find a good repair man for my Janome memory craft 9000 sewing machine?
I started oiling the bobbin holder and casing with a small cotton swab lightly (I use a makeup pad). Oil the backside of the black holder and then wipe the inside of the whole metal holder very lightly with oil (I don't know what it's called) that seems to help a lot .
