It's done so that more oil gets to the timing chain. I did it to mine
and I drilled out the little hole so even more could get in there. Of
course my front seal is a modern rubber one, so I have no worries of
leakage. But it is a common reliability/durability modification. Oh
yeah, makes sure the little ball and spring inside of it have been
removed.
