Default GMPP Distributor front drive users...come in.

The instructions say to drill two .025" holes in the cam retainer plate for oil. Is that right? 25 thousandths? Seems WAY small.

I have this front drive set up on an LSX,that hole is supposed to be tiny so the oil will spray under high pressure,there are some people on this board that made then too big and had engine failure due to no oil pressure.
