Oil hole missalignment in main bearing sadle

Recently on this board there was a question on what to do about oil hole location mismatches in the main bearing sadles (block to bearing shell). I recall that the recommendation was to leave it alone, it was meant to be that way...

On another FE forum an FE oiling article explained how to make these holes line up better, and added that the alignment on 406 and 427 blocks was closer than the other FEs.

On another oiling topic, I went to an autoparts jobber last year and ordered a set of std 428 rod bearing shells. They did not have the 'v' cut on the edge, which lines up with a hole in the rod/cap assy to lub the lower cyl wall. We ordered another set from another co. and they had the 'v' cuts.
