Tell me more about why I should not worry about losing pressure momentarily, actually draining the pushrod? I don't know. Why does the factory keep these holes covered at high lift?



The contact points will be well lubed and continue to be right up till the moment the hole becomes exposed. The contact points will then ride the cushion of oil. In the absolute fraction of a second that the holes are exposed drainback would be virtually unmeasureable.
