That because the hole is not needed.. If you want to be **** about it, get the SnS bearing retainer plate, It has a deflector that directs the oil to the gears. Still it's not needed.

Trying to learn from this post. Max opined that the cam plate was shot. I am having a bit of trouble seeing the damage. Is it the marks at approximately 2, 3, 4 and 7 o'clock?
Not second guessing anyone but rather increasing my own understanding of what to look for.

djl and Max,
Thanks for the clarification. I see what you mean.
I am laughing at myself right now. I was looking so hard at what I thought was the damaged area I never pulled back to see the big picture. It's been a few years since I changed out my cams and plate. I needed to pull out the FSM and do some remedial study.
Thanks again for helping me learn.

Only time I have seen oil pumps break is with excessive crank run out. When ever I see that much metal in an engine. I pull engine apart. The oil filter will bypass and pistons will not live long with a clogged cooling jet. Splash oil in crank case cavity is pretty none existent with case design.
