Bill, aren't the TSIO series engines alreadty fitted with oil spray to the pistons?    We sold a bunch of airboat engines into the Everglades (All stamped NOT AIRWORTHY) when the welders were learning how.   GSO-490 Lycs if memory serves.

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.
