As usual, if I stare at a problem long enough, I can find the most complicated way to solve it. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

I don't see why I can't drill the 3sx rods with the same diameter spray hole and at the same angle as the OE rods, chamfer the hole and regain any lost lubrication benefit to the cylinder walls. The H-beams to the side of the hole might limit the spray pattern width - depending on whether what comes out is a spray or a stream - but the result might be better than nothing and would keep oil pressure the same as the OE design:

Still chewing on this one.
