""""""Cross drilling forces the oil pressure to try and overcome combustion pressure of 1000 plus psi which and translate to 10,000 psi at the bearing. """"""

Personally, I doubt that statement. And will have to sit in front of a crank & block awhile before posting back. Meanwhile, ponder that the PMD factory simultaneously optimized the crank-drilling for cross-sectional strength Main-to-throw, and oil feed timing.

Also, ponder Centrigfugal is a mutual force for non-cross-drilled and cross-drilled arms. Always tossing oil into the rod journal. ALWAYS negating Feed-Pressure at the Main Journal holes.

"All the latest in scoop oil holes" sounds good.
Does this crankshaft Reccommend "The Latest" in Main Bearing groove distance and position?
