5.9 stroker build

Icetech said
I just drilled my left galley last night... Just curious.. did your motor not come with a thrust plate? why a billet one? and in theory the plate should cover the galleys good enough to not need the plugs BUT i just read the other day that a member had massive oil pretty issues til i put cups in there. IF you primed it and have good oil pressure i wouldn't sweat it.

I drilled my galley end due to my chain being much dryer than i wanted when i took it apart, i also don't run a oil slinger though.

It came with a thrust plate, but none of the bolt holes were drilled. I wanted additional oiling but didn't want to drill the galley plug and thrust plate so I opted for the kit. After I ordered the kit and told Greg about it, he drilled holes in three or four of his thrust plate bolts. He's set for the next couple of builds.
