It will only go down to the galley where the cam shaft is and the hole down there isn't large enough for the pushrod piece to come in contact with the cam. Up top, all it can do is run into the valley cover. Now if all 8 of them comes loose and he loses oil pressure, then he has a problem

There in there pretty snugged , i highly doubt there going anywhere , motor heats up , they should expand more .. Not that its needed ..

Good idea!

This isn't really that different from buying the appropriate size freeze-plug style tap in plug, which seems like it would also be a good fix.
