Re: Oil Hole Diameter
Don't know factory specs but I just drill in sizes until hit cast iron, just checked a clean block and can drop in a 11/32" drill bit in the front and centre and a 29/64" in the rear.

Re: Oil Hole Diameter
I used to go through the time-consuming job of setting the block up in the mill to cut the oil axials, now just a block of wood, clamps and use a router, much easier.
