I've been thinking about this issue with the oiling journals, and I am going to have the machinist put them in. No sense installing something I know isn't going to work as well as original equipment when it's such a simple upgrade. Leaving those holes out looks like something the factory did to hold down manufacturing costs, and it is obvious that the wrist pins will oil better with the journals in there!

Boo

Paint it black with a rattle can, and drive it like ya stole it!
