Original motors we have opened up do not have this hole.� This is why after much thought about it we are not doing it.� I feel it's a hi performance option those hi rev boyd so-- that's not for us.� I want a rock solid hunk of metal that runs on regular gas, can accept any oil and produces it's best performance under 3000rpm.� No chrome, original valve covers, and all other visible parts.� Needs to fire every time and have Bubba & Scooter be able to work on it.� With or without the hole makes little difference, if GM felt it needed to be there, they would have done it even on Chevys!

Coming from no olds experience I am just� thinking there should be enough oil sloshing around if the engine runs out of oil at 6000 rpm. However if you have a surplus volume yes I wouldn't have a problem drilling a plug to oil a distributor gear. It just like I picked up ac couple continental O-470 aircraft engines for my next airboat. Big oil pump, these things can run with .008 main clearance so I drilled the case for piston squirters to reduce potential for detonation. New bearings went in and Newer cases have them I found out. Second engine I bored the case for 520 jugs and isn't together yet but prioritys change. I don't see IMO� a burning issue if you don't drill it, I don't see a problem at all if you do drill the plug.
