SB Cam Thrust Plate questions

thanks a million!

In the old 273 they never had a drip plate or a bolt with a hole and it lived 100k+. This is a factory motor doen by Dodge in 64. But I know most have a hole in them at least the ones I have seen.

I guess these new drip style plates are designed so that the oil will come out the lifter galley drip down the plate and onto to the cam. So the oiler bolt would just be over kill. I know i have read a lot of post from guys leaving the bolt out. But I do not thisnk that is the best solution, even though there are some models with 3 olts. i feel better at the top of the plate with 4 bolts.
