Good concept Jerry, but I don't think it would be possible to drill a 216 crank for full pressure oiling. Because of the large lightening holes in the crank throws. Maybe if you have a flexible drill bit that can drill around corners. wink It would definitely take some pretty precise drilling if a straight line between main and rod journals could be found to miss those lightening holes (which 235 cranks don't have.)

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
