I am a big fan of the pressurized oil trick through the thrust plate. IMO, it would have been good for Chrysler to have done even on a stock build. What could possibly be the down side? Of course, you don't want much of a hole. I drilled the galley plug in my slant 6 build with a 1/16" hole and that will soak the timing set, rest arrured and not cause a big pressure drop. That's simply no down side. More lubrication and more cooling. What's not to like?
