I wish you guys would have voiced your opinion before i went and already drilled it! Haha i was a bit skeptical about doing it but literally everyone on here told me too and it was in the book so i did it. I dont think it will hurt nothing.
Well think of this......how many small blocks have you ever seen with burnt up timing chains from lack of oil? I've not seen any. I will say I have seen quite a few I KNOW were virgin tear downs that did have that little bolt with the hole drilled through it, so evidently Chrysler did think that was a good idea. It's cheap and it doesn't cause a pressure loss since it just drips out of the intake valley. Nothing wrong with doing that.
